**FOXBOROUGH, Mass.** – New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was presented with the 2025 New England Patriots Ron Burton Community Service Award at the Patriots Premiere on the field at Gillette Stadium tonight. Henry is the 23rd Patriots player to receive the annual award, which recognizes outstanding commitment in giving back to the community.
Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft presented Henry with the award, which is named in honor of the late Ron Burton, the first player drafted by the team in the inaugural year of 1960 and a community leader whose widespread charitable work was a model for how a Patriots player can make an impact off the field.
"Hunter has been a natural leader in our community since arriving in New England," said Kraft. "He and his wife, Parker, have shown an unwavering commitment to service, especially through their deep connection to the foster care community, a cause central to the Patriots Foundation. Together, they've helped spotlight the resilience of foster youth and the dedication of those who support them. It was an honor to present Hunter with this year's Ron Burton Community Service Award."
