It only took two years for Drake Maye to make significant impact on the New England Patriots organization.
Ahead of this third NFL season, the quarterback is launching his own nonprofit to extend that impact to the community.
Maye and his wife, Ann Michael, on Friday announced the creation of the MayeDay Family Foundation and its mission to provide children and families enduring hardship with assistance and support.
"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.
"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 Mayes also announced an inaugural MayeDay Family Foundation Celebrity Softball Classic to fund their mission. The Celebrity Softball Classic will take place at Polar Park, home of the Worcester Red Sox, on Sunday, May 31.
"We are really looking forward to hosting the Celebrity Softball Classic as our first foundation event," said Ann Michael.
"It's going to be a really fun night for families and all for a great cause."
The game will feature several of Maye's Patriots teammates and other celebrities, and will include a home run derby, fireworks, and other interactive family activities.
Tickets to the Celebrity Softball Classic start as low as $15 and can be purchased as of Tuesday, March 31.
