The annual Big Slick Celebrity Weekend fundraiser for Children’s Mercy is super-charged this year — the biggest slate of celebrity guests ever, including a couple of guys fresh off a Super Bowl victory who know how to command a stage.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce return along with teammate Creed Humphrey and former teammate Dustin Colquitt. And first-time guests include Finn Wolfhard of “Stranger Things” and singer Darius Rucker.

Here’s the scoop on the two-day event.
