WRENTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) – Current and former Patriots players attended the Legends Ball in Wrentham and helped raise money for a meaningful mission at a local YMCA.
Drake Maye, David Andrews and more players showed their support for the 20th annual event, which raises money for the Hockomock Area YMCA, which provides opportunities for youth, teens and adults with special needs.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye said it’s always important to step away from football and support the community.
“It’s bigger than winning football games, this is what it’s about: being part of the community and giving back to these people who put a smile on our faces,” Maye said. “I think that’s the most important thing: being able to support them and know that we’re continuing the legacy of what the Patriots have done in the past.”
Jim Downs, CEO of the Hockomock Area YMCA, said events like Tuesday could have a profound impact on the players:
“I often hear the athletes say that we are not the legends, these kids are the legends, these young adults are the legends, they make us happy.”
Since 2004, more than 1,600 families have participated in this program at the YMCA.
