Chiefs DE Frank Clark’s foundation establishing ‘Tyre Sampson Scholarship Fund’

Kansas City Chiefs DE Frank Clark’s foundation is doing its part to help honor a St. Louis, Missouri teen who tragically died at an amusement park on Thursday, March 24. 14-year-old Tyre Sampson succumbed to his injuries after falling from the Orlando FreeFall ride at ICON Park in Orlando, Florida. The ride is known as “the world’s tallest free-standing drop tower.”

Sampson was an aspiring football athlete and had the dream to play professional football in the NFL. When Clark heard about Sampson’s story he was moved to action, pledging to help the family cover funeral costs. After hearing more about Sampson from his mother, Nekia Dodd, Clark’s foundation came up with a plan to ensure his legacy would live on.
