ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- For the past 35 years, Dan Meers has brought joy and laughter to countless fans as he donned the mask of K.C. Wolf.

His flashy hip dancing, paired with a wide variety of antics to distract opponents in games, is what made him an iconic fixture for Chiefs Kingdom on gameday.

His work as K.C. Wolf has led him to participate in over 10,000 events that span across 38 states and 12 countries. However, Meers has always prioritized using his platform with the Kansas City Chiefs as a way to give back through events such as school visits, charity work, keynote speeches and even walking people down the aisle.
