Inside Tavia Hunt’s Playbook: How She’s Shaping the Chiefs’ Off-Field Legacy

The Kansas City Chiefs are synonymous with football excellence, but the team’s impact stretches far beyond the gridiron. At the heart of this off-field legacy is Tavia Hunt, the wife of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and the powerhouse behind the Chiefs Women’s Organization (CWO). Through her tireless efforts, Tavia is shaping the team’s influence in the community, ensuring the Chiefs’ legacy encompasses not only championships but meaningful, lasting change.

Tavia’s work is all about making connections and building relationships that transcend football. Recently, she and Clark served as honorary chairs for the Kansas City Police Foundation Gala, an event dedicated to supporting local law enforcement. It was a night filled with excitement, with comedian and Chiefs superfan Rob Riggle energizing the crowd, and NFL Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier delivering a keynote address that resonated deeply with the audience.

Following the event, Tavia shared her gratitude on Instagram, saying, “We are proud to support the KCPD and deeply grateful for their dedication to keeping our community safe.” This sentiment reflects her deep-rooted belief that the Chiefs’ role in the community isn’t confined to sports. For Tavia, giving back is a year-round commitment that has become a core part of the Chiefs’ identity.

As the director of the CWO, Tavia is not only overseeing efforts to support local causes but also actively participating in them. From feeding families in need to helping build homes for those without, she is consistently involved in hands-on service. This approach is what makes Tavia’s leadership truly unique—she isn’t just writing checks; she’s getting involved, forging connections, and ensuring that the Chiefs’ off-field impact is felt by those who need it most.

Tavia’s ties to the Chiefs run deep. Long before she became the First Lady of the franchise, she was a PR intern for the team back in 1991 while still a college student. Now, decades later, Tavia and Clark remain deeply invested in the Kansas City community that has supported the Chiefs for generations. “It’s important for Clark and me to invest and give back to this community,” she has said. And her actions speak louder than words, proving that being a part of the Chiefs family means more than just the thrill of game-day glory—it’s about showing up for Kansas City every single day.

Through her leadership, Tavia Hunt is redefining what it means to be a part of the Chiefs’ organization. Her focus on giving back and making a tangible difference ensures that the Chiefs’ legacy will be felt long after the final whistle blows. The community, and indeed the entire city of Kansas City, is better for it.
