<\/p>\nPatrick Mahomes is as multifaceted as they come! When the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is not throwing footballs, he devotes his time to a noble cause. In celebration of completing four years of the \u201cRead for 15\u201d initiative. T-Mobile Center was buzzing with laughter, cheering, and dancing as the three-time MVP spread his \u2018Magic\u2019 among the kids.<\/p>\n

The step encourages young students to delve into reading for 15 minutes every day outside the school schedule. In collaboration with the \u201915 and the Mahomies Foundation\u2019 and \u2018Lead to Read KC,\u2019 the commemoration hosted about 3,000 kids for the celebration. The non-profit initiative provides volunteers to get kids engaged in the hobby of reading by conducting one-to-one sessions with students of high-need elementary schools in the region. They celebrated their four years on Friday, having achieved over 20,000 participants.<\/p>\n
Mahomes\u2019 entry was met with an uproar of applause and cheers from the students. He also conducted a reading of \u201cWe\u2019re All Weird!\u201d by Kristen Heath, which normalizes the idea of being unique and different and aims to remove the fear of being perceived as \u201cweird.\u201d Doug Walker and the author joined the QB in the reading. A segment of the book mentions putting ketchup on cotton candy as an example, which got the disapproval of the majority of kids. Mahomes, however, chipped in by expressing his love for ketchup, as per KCTV.<\/p>\n

When he was nominated for the esteemed award to honor a player\u2019s efforts in philanthropy and creating a positive impact in society, Mahomes was overwhelmed. Each of the 32 teams nominates one player who has made significant contributions to a cause, and the star quarterback was the Chiefs\u2019 pick.<\/p>\n
Calling the nomination the biggest honor, Mahomes talked about how much it meant to him being a father himself, working to help other kids through the \u201915 and the Mahomies.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a dad of two, it means the world to me to be able to provide opportunities and support to underserved youth, and my family and I are so humbled to be in the running for an award that means so much to the Chiefs organization and to our community,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Mahomes said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s 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.\u201d’<\/em><\/p>\n
