The Heights School Foundation also announced that on Super Bowl Sunday, Terminal Tower in downtown Cleveland will be lit up in black and gold. The foundation has also sold over 1000 "Heights Proud Kelce" shirts to alumni across the country.
On Jan. 31, Cleveland Heights announced that they will "Light up the Heights" to support the Kelce brothers ahead of the Super Bowl matchup.
"Show your KELCE & HEIGHTS pride by lighting up your front porch GOLD on Sunday February 12th, 2023 as Jason of the Philadelphia Eagles and Travis of the Kansas City Chiefs make their way to Super Bowl 57," a Facebook posting for the event reads.
