\"Tom<\/a>BOSTON<\/strong>, JUNE 6, 2016<\/strong> \u2013 More than 2,500 people participated in the 17th Annual Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port<\/em><\/strong>, a run, walk and cycle fundraiser from Boston to Hyannis Port, on June 3-4. The Challenge<\/em> raised $5.5 million in total donations for Best Buddies International<\/strong>, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for friendship, employment and leadership training for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Tom Brady<\/strong>, New England Patriots Quarterback and Best Buddies Global Ambassador, served as Honorary Co-Chair and led top fundraising Team Tom Brady<\/strong> to the finish line. Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri <\/strong>and Congressman Joseph P. \u00a0Kennedy III<\/strong> joined Brady as the event\u2019s Honorary Co-Chairs. John Hailer<\/strong>, President & CEO of Natixis Global Asset Management for the Americas & Asia, served as the Event Chair.<\/p>\n

The weekend\u2019s festivities kicked off with the Tom Brady Football Challenge<\/strong> and Guy Cooking with Best Buddies Celebrity Chef Food and Wine Festival <\/strong>at Harvard on Friday, June 3. Nearly 4,000 spectators filled the stands for the event to watch Team Pepsi-Cola<\/strong> take on Team Santander<\/strong>, all for a great cause. The game was a close one, but Team Santander came out victorious with a final score of 52-50.<\/p>\n

During the game, Brady played quarterback for Team Pepsi-Cola and Team Santander alongside Best Buddies participants, supporters and special guests. Past and present New England Patriots including Danny Amendola<\/strong>, Tedy Bruschi,<\/strong> Julian Edelman, Christian Fauria, Dion Lewis, Dan Koppen, Rob Ninkovich, James White<\/strong>, and Scott Zolak, <\/strong>all joined Brady at the game; along with journalist and New England Native Maria Menounos,<\/strong> and actors Michael Chiklis<\/strong>, Greg Germann,<\/strong> and Jason Lewis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Guy Cooking with Best Buddies Celebrity Chef Food and Wine Festival, presented by Pepsi-Cola <\/strong>closed out the evening. Headlined by Fieri<\/strong>, the event featured more than 30 chefs from top local restaurants providing food tastings and complimentary wine and spirits options, and several Best Buddies sous chefs helped the pro chefs prepare delicious food for guests and during the festivities. Steve DiFillippo,<\/strong> founder of the world-famous Davio\u2019s Restaurant Group and inductee to the Massachusetts Restaurant Hall of Fame, Allen Campbell<\/strong>, chef and author of “TB12’s Nutritional Manual”, Michael Schlow<\/strong> of Tico, Doretta Taverna & Raw Bar, and Randy Greenstein<\/strong> of Big Night Entertainment Group, all served as Special Chef Vice-Chairs of this event.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, June 4, Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port<\/em> participants turned out in droves for a 100, 50, or 20 mile bike ride and laced up their running shoes for a 5K run\/walk. Several of them teamed up with Best Buddies participants and competed on tandem bicycles in the \u201cFriendship Races\u201d, including Anthony K. Shriver, Tom Brady and his best buddy, Katie Meade.<\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/em> was capped off by a celebratory clambake and private concert by the legendary Beach Boys<\/strong>, who rocked the crowd with several of their greatest hits. During the festivities, Anthony K. Shriver<\/strong>, Founder and Chairman, Best Buddies International, encouraged guests to \u201cSponsor a Buddy” (to attend the Best Buddies International Leadership Conference this July) through the Tom Brady Football Toss. Brady tossed signed footballs to guests who paid $1,500 or more for each one, giving numerous buddies a chance to attend the Conference. In total, the football tosses raised more than $100,000 at both Friday\u2019s tailgate celebration and Saturday\u2019s clambake in Hyannis Port. During the event, Pepsi-Cola<\/strong> was honored with the organization\u2019s Spirit of Friendship Award<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis weekend\u2019s Best Buddies Challenge festivities were the embodiment of the organization’s mission and it was a pleasure to once again support such a meaningful event, especially given how perfectly it aligns with Santander\u2019s commitment to make a difference in the local communities we serve,\u201d said Michael Cleary<\/strong>, Head of Consumer and Business Banking for Santander. “Team Santander was thrilled to work with Tom Brady and other athletes, celebrities and Buddies to put points on the board at Friday night\u2019s Football Challenge, and to join the 2,500 cyclists victoriously riding into Hyannis Port in support of the cause on Saturday.”<\/p>\n
