RUFF Fire is hitting the road next week, bringing smiles and the Kelce bobblehead to various locations across Chiefs Kingdom! Come down, snap a selfie with the bobblehead as we cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII.

Why a Travis Kelce Bobblehead? Brian Abbott, President of RUFF Fire, shares the idea and his passion.

For weeks, I noticed a bobblehead at Hy-Vee that never failed to bring a smile to my face. We decided it was time to spread this joy beyond ourselves. We made the purchase and launched our #kelcebobblemania Chiefs Kingdom tour. My intention was to enhance the sense of togetherness, acknowledging that the Chiefs already excel at this, but believing that there can never be too much positivity. Our plan was to visit numerous locations in and around Kansas City, capture delightful photos, and simply have a great time.

The primary focus of this initiative was community outreach. It was a straightforward notion, with the added plan to auction the bobblehead after the Super Bowl as another means of giving back. 100% of the auction proceeds, with the date yet to be determined, will be directed towards local charitable organizations, underscoring our commitment to supporting and uplifting the community.

With so many charitable organizations that deserve our support, and many resonate with our personal passions and the core values RUFF Fire, we had to make a choice. So For the Kelce Bobblehead fundraiser, we have selected Lee's Summit Social Services, KC Pet Project, and Operation Breakthrough.

" I am hoping that the  triumph of our Kielce bobblehead fundraising campaign will pave the way for additional events like this".

Stay tuned here for upcoming announcements on the details of our Kelce Bobblehead fundraiser.

RUFF FIRE is dedicated to challenging the status quo of the fire service. We believe, like the tiny particles dancing in a fire explained by the PENAM+ framework (Protons, Electrons, Neutrons, Atoms, and Molecules), that a fresh approach is key. Traditional ways are no longer enough. We must delve deeper into the science of fire, utilizing innovative technology and tactics to safeguard lives and property. As Einstein stated, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." The fire service needs a revolution, and RUFF FIRE is here to lead the charge.

At RUFF FIRE, we're committed to pushing boundaries. We actively experiment and embrace transformative advancements, all grounded in a scientific understanding of fire. Our goal? To save lives and protect property through groundbreaking ways. With unwavering determination, RUFF FIRE stands ready to pioneer a new era in fire service. Together, let's break the cycle of inefficiency and forge a safer future, informed by the fascinating dance of particles that is fire.
