Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones II visited the Morse Early Childhood Center, 912 S. Baltimore St., Kansas City, Kansas, on Dec. 19 and presented a check to provide funding for playground upgrades.

The center will receive new tricycles as well as a protective cover to shield the playground from harsh weather conditions, according to a Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools spokesman.

The goal was to provide a safe outdoor environment within the school that stimulates children to use their energy in healthy, creative interactions with one another, the spokesman stated.
