Reid played and coached at BYU, while Mahomes is a proud Red Raider, so they\u2019re asking fans from both schools to pause the rivalry for a second and donate some books to a good cause. Their commercial\/advertisement had a light-hearted script explaining the purpose of tailgate-charity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\" data-athlete=\"false\">The whole thing is a joint effort between BYU Alumni\u2019s\u00a0<em>\u2018Coughs Care\u2019<\/em>\u00a0program and a local literacy group in Lubbock. It\u2019s a sweet way to channel all that college football energy into something really positive for the community. Folks going to the game can drop off new or gently used books at the tailgate, or if they can\u2019t make it, they can buy some from an online wish list. It just goes to show you that sports can bring people together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\" data-athlete=\"false\">Mahomes didn\u2019t mice about the tailgate: \u201c<em>No matter which team you are cheer for, come out, lend out, and help the families in Lubbock.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0BYU\u2019s Curtis Isaak added the importance of this event:\u00a0<em>\u201cCOUGS CARE is a way to build the bridges and give back to the hosting communities.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0In 2024, season or year alone, they donated over 5000 pounds of food.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\">Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire also\u00a0shared how special this moment is for players\u00a0and the school.\u00a0<em>\u201cIt\u2019s so special to have College GameDay because you know it\u2019s one of those deals, it really is a dream as a player to be a part of that,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0McGuire said. He also plans to reach out to Patrick Mahomes and hopes Mahomes will show up with Andy Reid as guest pickers for the show. The GameDay broadcast will take place at Jones AT&amp;T Stadium and will finish right before kickoff at 11 a.m. Ever since getting into the league, Patrick Mahomes has been constantly putting up reps for his community.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"dom-traversal_domNewH2__H0HKD\">Patrick Mahomes\u2019 $1.5 million charity work<\/h2>\n<div id=\"scroll-3\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\" data-athlete=\"false\">Patrick Mahomes has already made a significant impact off the field in Kansas City through his\u00a0<em>\u201c15 and the Mahomies Foundation.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Even before his No. 15 jersey is retired someday, his charity work has helped many local families, children, and organizations. At the foundation\u2019s sixth annual gala held at the Kansas City Convention Center, they raised more than $1.5 million on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\" data-athlete=\"false\">The most impressive part is that the money didn\u2019t sit and wait. The foundation immediately donated the entire $1,508,000 to over 20 charities right on stage that night. Last year they raised over $1 million for 20 charities, so this year topped that total. Many special guests attended the event including Andy Reid and his wife Tammy, and Mahomes\u2019 family. Mahomes even threw a few football passes inside the building just like he did at last year\u2019s gala.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\" data-athlete=\"false\">Mahomes started this foundation back in 2019 to help kids, focus on health and wellness, and support communities in need. Over the years, the foundation has teamed up with groups like<em>\u00a0Boys and Girls Club<\/em>\u00a0<em>of Greater Kansas City<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Children\u2019s Mercy<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Lead to Read<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\">The former Red Raiders signal-caller has also supported several other charity efforts including \u201cMy Cause My Cleats,\u201d raising awareness about food allergies, and giving 15 students from Kansas City, Tyler, and Lubbock a $10k scholarship each. This is one of the big reasons fans love Mahomes not just for his talent in the NFL, but also for the heart and impact he brings off the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to football, there might not be a better duo than\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0and\u00a0Andy Reid.
