During the event, he thanked Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes, by saying, “This investment Brittany and Patrick and the foundation have made is more about perpetuity. It’s about the stability of the clubs being here every day. Having a warm meal, having wonderful staff and tutors. And just a stable ground for young people to be in when they need somewhere to go.

Since 1960, this clubhouse has been providing a safe place to the children. Also, they are educating the kids’ group from 5-18 ages. In addition to that, as per VP at coaching charities, “some really fun things (are) planned for all of the kids,” which is “coming up shortly.” Moreover, the Mahomes couple will keep on gracing the place with their presence now more frequently.
