“It’s crazy to see the way 15 and the Mahomies has grown and continues to make more and more of a difference for kids here in Kansas City, across Texas and beyond,” he concluded.

Founded in 2019, the foundation focuses on improving the lives of children with an emphasis on health, wellness, and supporting communities in need. To date, it has distributed over $4 million in grants and programs.

Notably, the “Volunteer for 15” program, initiated on May 1, surpassed its goal of 15,000 volunteer hours, with youth contributing nearly 23,000 hours to the local community.
