In addition to being an MVP candidate in just his second season, he has also teamed up with Boston-based nonprofit Best Buddies.

New England Patriots Quarterback and Best Buddies Global Ambassador Drake Maye will serve as Honorary Chair of the 26th Annual Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port, presented by Jersey Mike's Subs, Shaw's and Star Market Foundation and The TJX Companies, Inc. More than 1,500 people are expected to participate in the Challenge – a charity ride, run, and walk to benefit Best Buddies International.
This is what it’s all about—showing up, supporting one another, and making sure everyone belongs.
Over the weekend, thousands of Best Buddies participants from around the world convened at Indiana University for the Best Buddies Leadership Conference. For many, this isn’t just a conference — it’s a reunion.
A new fundraising initiative that brings together a passion for golf and a commitment to creating opportunities for individuals with IDD.
Nearly 2,800 global leaders will gather July 17–20 at the 2026 Best Buddies Leadership Conference, where the theme "One Team, One World" celebrates friendship, leadership, and inclusion through inspiring speakers, training, and shared experiences.
