On February 11th, 2024 the NFL held Super Bowl LVIII in Paradise Las Vegas at the Allegiant Stadium between the San Francisco 49ers, and the Kansas City Chiefs. The game came down the the wire with the Chiefs becoming the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the Patriots did it in 2004.

Then once the team was back home, on February 14th Kansas City held a Victory Parade for the team through the downtown. Unfortunately during the parade, a day for celebration suddenly turned to tragedy. Gunfire broke out injuring 22 people who were shot, and 43 year-old mother of two Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed.

Following the tragedy, the Community showed just how Kansas City Strong they are with Fundraisers for the victims including one by Elongated Coin Designer and Collector Paul Conner.

Paul created a special elongated coin proudly states Kansas City Strong, and features images of the Kansas City skyline, Chiefs logo, Union Station and the team’s coach Andy Reid.

There are also denomination sets available with the same image pressed on a US cent (penny), Nickel, Dime and Quarter.

Above is an image of the fundraiser form created by Paul. All funds will be sent directly to the United Way. You can submit your donation directly through PayPal to Paul’s email listed on the form, and just include in the note the item(s) you paid for and your mailing address. Or you can use the above QR code to submit your donation directly to the United Way. Then just email Paul a photo of the donation receipt and he will send you the coins. You can click here to access a PDF file of the fundraiser form.

I always want to help showcase special elongated coins that are created by friends in our collecting community. This is another wonderful coin to add to your collection and it helps a great cause for the victims of this very unfortunately event. Thank you all for taking a few moments to read about this and I hope you think about making a donation.
