Drake Maye did plenty of winning on the field last season. Now, he’s also taking major steps off the field to give back to those in need, and he and his wife, Ann Michael, have shown him so much love throughout the course of his brief collegiate and professional career.
That’s why they’ve put together the MayeDay Family Foundation to support children and families facing hardship:
“Ann Michael and I are excited to launch the MayeDay Family Foundation to give back to the communities that have so strongly supported us,” said Maye in a press release, per the Patriots’ official website. “It’s important for us to provide help for kids and families in need and we are looking forward to partnering with great organizations in New England and back home in North Carolina.”
The Foundation has also made a three-year commitment to the Boston Children’s Hospital. They’ll fund a Child Life Therapist for the oncology floor, using creative arts, technology, play, and music to support the children and their families:
“We are really looking forward to hosting the Celebrity Softball Classic as our first foundation event,” Michael said. “It’s going to be a really fun night for families and all for a great cause.”
The Patriots have committed to the former UNC star after taking him with the No. 3 pick in 2024. It didn’t take long before he proved that was the right call, as he led the team back to the Super Bowl in just his second year as a pro and for the first time since the Tom Brady era.
Maye and his wife have become fan favorites because of their easygoing personalities and commitment to the community. Now, they’re taking things up a notch by launching this much-needed initiative to bring hope back to those who need it the most.
