New England Patriots
“I feel it’s one of many greatest issues in life to have been blessed to be the place I’m at at present, and having the ability to give again.”
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will likely be sporting a brand new look this spring.
The 23-year-old QB took half in Granite Telecommunications’ “Saving by Shaving” occasion benefiting Boston Kids’s Hospital on Tuesday — shaving his head as a part of the fundraising endeavor that raised a complete of $4.15 million.
As a part of the occasion, Granite Telecommunications donated $2,500 for each one that shaved their head or donated at the least eight inches of hair, with Granite CEO Rob Hale and his household matching, greenback for greenback.
Maye was not the one one to embrace the wiffle, as former Patriots offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi, WEEI radio character Greg Hill, Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch, and Boston Kids’s CEO and president Kevin Churchwell all buzzed their heads as properly.
Maye’s spouse, Ann Michael Maye, was readily available for Tuesday’s occasion — making the primary few rounds with the clippers earlier than turning it over to a couple of the professionals.
“I lower my grandma’s hair one time, and it appeared so horrible,” she told Christopher Price of The Boston Globe. “It was throughout COVID, and she or he actually wanted a haircut, so I gave her a haircut, and it appeared so unhealthy. So we’ll see how this goes.”
Drake Maye and Ann Michae Maye launched “The MayeDay Family Foundation” last week to assist kids and households in want all through New England, in addition to within the Mayes’ house state of North Carolina.
“I feel it’s one of many greatest issues in life to have been blessed to be the place I’m at at present, and having the ability to give again,” Drake Maye advised Value of his philanthropic efforts. “And I do know my household, [it was] massive, rising up, my mother and father and being round Ann Michael, we liked being out locally and making an attempt to, like I mentioned, give again and do issues which can be greater than what I do for a dwelling. So, that’s what it’s about.”
