From his jaw-dropping plays amid regular season to his humble nature, Patrick Mahomes continues to leave an inedible mark. While doing all of that, the young quarterback’s contributions as a community activist and champion for education have also become the bedrock of his legacy. During the Chiefs’ Bye Week, when he got a much-needed break to respite, he chose to dedicate his time to the future generation.
The 28-year-old athlete has won two Super Bowl titles and MVP awards in his NFL career and also makes an impact off the field by remaining dedicated to addressing social injustices. But he is not alone. Along with him, his wife Brittany Mahomes has also done some philanthropic work and has served society multiple times, like the one in July. Now, the NFL’s power couple has hosted another life-changing fundraising auction that speaks verses about their down-to-earth nature amid all the stardom.
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany know the worth of the future generation!
Patrick Mahomes and his squad cherished another memorable moment after their 21-14 Frankfurt victory against the Miami Dolphins. Most recently, Mahomes and his wife hosted a fundraising auction gala event on Thursday at KC, via their 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. The Optimal Fundraising Group organized this event for the Mahomes couple, which aimed towards the welfare of children, especially in terms of their education, fitness, and wellness.
Boasting an $80 million combined net worth, the KC couple “awarded $615,000 in grants to 19 different charitable organizations!” Patrick Mahomes also clicked pictures with the children and others present at the event. This auction was also attended by Mahomes’ teammates, including Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce, who has finally made it to Buenos Aires for Taylor Swift’s Eras tour.
Coming back to Mahomes’ foundation, The “15 and the Mahomies Foundation” was established back in 2019, and has accomplished so much for society that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on the people of Kansas City.
What has Patrick Mahomes’ charity done till now?
The NFL quarterback was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2017 NFL draft. Soon after two years of recognition, on April 2, 2019, Patrick Mahomes launched “15 and the Mahomies” mission to improve the lives of children, supporting initiatives like children’s education, health, communities in need of resources, and much more. In August of the same year, the QB donated Adidas sneakers to high school athletes in Texas, who were in need of the resources. Then in October of the same year, he hosted 15 kids and family members for his game against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium.
Furthermore, in November, he partnered with KC Pet Project, leading a mission to provide pet food and resources to 15 families for a year. Later, in 2020, the young legend gave 15 scholarships to children of the United States Navy SEALs and also launched the “Read for 15” program at KC and Texans to encourage children to develop the habit of reading for 15 minutes. His foundation also helped children with disabilities, providing them custom bikes and granting them with medicine programs. Apart from him, even Brittany Mahomes has always participated equally in the events. In July of this year, she asked teachers to send her their Amazon wishlists and promised to gift them the items on the list.
