Delaware company behind the trolling billboard in Kansas City thanks Eagles and Chiefs fans

CBS News14-02-2025

When trolling for a good cause benefits both Super Bowl teams' charities, everyone wins. The Delaware-based media company that had a "trolling billboard" for Chiefs fans near Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, last week is now saying thanks.
Being a class act and displaying what the "City of Brotherly Love" is known for, Aloysius Butler & Clark replaced the 816-323-GO KC billboard by saying "Hey, KC, Thanks for Answering the Call" over the weekend.
There is also a billboard near the Lincoln Financial Field with a similar message.
In a release on Sunday before the Super Bowl, AB&C said in a release that with the overwhelming response to the original campaign going viral, the company donated $2,500 each to the Eagles Autism Foundation and the Kansas City's Hunt Family Foundation.
Drivers along I-435 in the Kansas City area on Feb. 4 witnessed the original billboard with the message, "816-323-GO KC — call for a pep rally in your pocket."
Now, what happened when you called? The Eagles' "Fly, Eagles Fly" fight song graced people's ears.
AB&C pledged to donate $1 per call to both foundations with a maximum of $2,500 each, as stated in the release. The trolling billboard was a success with fans calling in and showing support for their teams after going viral.
"The response has been overwhelming and amazing to watch," said Steve Merino, AB&C's chief creative officer in the release. "Whether people were taking part because of their spirit of competition, out of curiosity or to support the cause, we achieved what we set out to do. Both cities win. Now we just want to say thanks."

Loving Giving Local: Rhoxon Productions

Movie enthusiasts will benefit from this week's Loving Giving Local donation. A local movie production company that sponsors a film festival is this week's recipient. Rhoxon Productions got a financial gift from Auto Express Resale Center. Rhoxon is an Erie-based non-profit independent film company that creates organic stories that promote a positive change. Besides creating art, Rhoxon strives to create jobs and educational opportunities in the film industry. 'Our last few projects have been about healing and about coping, and our next two are about revamping the social justice system,' said Katie Nixon, RhoxonProductions co-founder. 'That's sort of our creative endeavors, and we also create educational opportunities for people to learn how to do this professionally.' Nixon says Rhoxon has a vision of creating 50 new jobs in the film industry here. And she insists you no longer have to be on the East or West Coast to have a film career. 'No, the landscape has changed so much. Even Netflix has created their new studio out in Jersey. It's not just that you have be in New York or LA,' she explained. 'Erie is kinda a really interesting place. You have beach, you have woods, you have city, you have country all within 15 minutes of each other.' That landscape diversity, Nixon said, makes Northwest Pennsylvania the perfect place for shooting movies. This week's Loving Giving Local donation will help support an upcoming film festival. Nixon said, 'We started the only multi-genre film festival here in Erie. It's the Lake Effect Film Festival, which will be in September. So that money will go to help make that event possible.' After making his check presentation, Joe Askins of Auto Express Resale Center said, 'We're pretty fortunate to have Rhoxon in our community and they're already doing great things. So for us to be able to deliver loving giving local and to learn the donation we bring is going toward their film festival, that's what Loving Giving Local is all about,' Askins said.

Caitlin Clark Turns Heads With Outfit Before Dream-Fever Rematch

On Thursday, May 22, 2025, the Indiana Fever will face off against the Atlanta Dream in a rematch of their bout from May 20, 2025, when the Dream won 91-90 in an instant classic. Ahead of tonight's showdown, Fever star Caitlin Clark was asked if Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and billionaire musician Taylor Swift would be joining any Fever games. "Oh, gosh. I don't know. I mean, I hope so. They're on a nice 'in-vacation mode' right now. So, I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight. But, I'm sure they'll be cheering for the Fever either way," Clark said at the time. Advertisement Her comments came not long after she raved about meeting Swift at a Chiefs playoff game earlier this year. "We're just having normal conversations as any other person in Arrowhead Stadium that night. She loves the Chiefs just as much as I do," Clark said. "I'm talking football with her. She loved it, and just like her passion, and honestly, probably one of the sweetest people I've ever been around. And everybody says that when you meet her, but it's really true. She just treats everybody with the same amount of kindness, and her family was great." While she likes to have fun away from the court, Clark is all business inside the painted lines. She showed up to Thursday night's game with a business casual look that made it clear the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is ready to go. Fans loved the look. Advertisement "CC got the cape on today. We're winning by 30," one person joked. "Damn if they can hit the same percentage of shots on the court as they did w the fits fever wins by a landslide," offered another. "Caitlin look like she bouta sell me insurance," joked a third. In the first meeting between the two teams, Clark dropped a game-high 27 points to go along with 11 assists and five rebounds in the loss.
