First off, I hope this doesn't have to end, but even if It does I'd like to take the time to say that it is and was an excellent thing that everyone involved did with this.

Even though I havn't been involved personally I've admired from afar the time and effort a bunch of chiefs fans and what everyone has done with this. Impressive to say the least.

It looks like you are looking for people to take this over and keep it going. I don't have any knowlege of this stuff or any experience in any thing like it. But I would like to throw out a few ideas. Like I said, I no nothing of this type of venture but a few things popped into my head while viewing the thread.

If the goal is to keep the Foundation alive and at least the name of it out there what about talking with someone with the organization?
The only things I know of about the team charities is what I read on the team website and occassional coverage within the KC Star. Are any of you familiar with or have had any contact with the team community relations department or their director Brenda Sniezek?

I don't know but maybe there are players out there that need ideas on what to do with starting up their own foundations. Most of the players take experiences that happened in thier lives and base that on their foundations. Others are started based upon just helping out those in need in general situations.

You have the big names out there but what about the guys that are just hanging on to their spots on the roster each year. Or the new players. I know they have something they call the rookie club that they do with rookies each year to introduce them to community and charitable relations. Heck you even see some of the practice squad players or young vets taking part in these functions.

I guess I don't know what your thoughts are on keeping things going. Maybe there is some way to tie the foundations name and incorporate it into another foundation?

I really don't know what to see other than good luck with everything. Since I am not familiar with anything like this my ideas may seem stupid and I am sure there is alot more to the process and behind the scenes in keeping this going.

Just thought I'd throw this out there.

Congrats on what everyone has accomplished. Something you should all be very proud of. Best of luck with this.
