Javion Mahone, a senior at Hogan Prep Academy in Kansas City, has been surprised with a trip to Super Bowl LIX by Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Mahone, who is a student at Operation Breakthrough’s Ignition Lab, received airfare, hotel accommodations, and three tickets to the big game. His family members will also be joining him in New Orleans for the event.
Mahone, who has worked hard to stay on the right path despite challenges in his environment, credits the Ignition Lab for providing him with opportunities to learn and grow. He has also started his own streetwear brand called Lone Wolf, as a symbol of his belief that he can choose his own path and be a positive role model in his community.
Kelce, who awarded Mahone the Super Bowl tickets as part of being the Chiefs’ Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee, commended Mahone for his leadership and determination. Mahone, who overcame a knee injury to play football in high school, now hopes to pursue a career in graphic design and green technology.
Those who know Mahone, including his football coach and his younger brother, have praised his character and work ethic. Mahone plans to wear a Kelce jersey at the Super Bowl, as a tribute to the player who has inspired him. The heartwarming story of Mahone’s journey from adversity to success serves as a reminder that good things happen to good people.
