The Mahomes family’s playbook isn’t just about touchdowns. On September 14, 2024, Randi Mahomes, the quarterback mom extraordinaire, proved that her game plan extends far beyond the gridiron. She hosted the Heart and Serve pickleball tournament, an event that had Kansas City buzzing like Arrowhead Stadium on game day.
But wait, there’s more! Jackson Mahomes, the younger brother of Patrick Mahomes, stepped up to support his mom’s passion project. He shared a snapshot of himself and Randi, grinning in front of the event’s arch, with a caption that would warm even the coldest Raiders fan’s heart: “Had an awesome day getting to support what my mom loves the most.”
Randi’s response? A heartfelt reshare with the caption: “Love you son. Thank you for your support.” It’s clear that for the Mahomes, family ties are as unbreakable as Patrick’s no-look passes.
Meanwhile, Randi’s Instagram story painted a vivid picture of the day’s highlights: “Highlight of the day was meeting so many of our beloved @variety.kc families and volunteers so grateful to be part of making Kansas City the most inclusive city ever.” The event, benefiting Variety KC, promoted the concept of supporting children with disabilities, as Randi Mahomes dished out Chief’s swag and served up some mean pickleball shots.
The Heart and Serve tournament wasn’t just about pickleball. From 10 am to 2 pm at the Kansas City Convention Center, it was a family-friendly extravaganza. Attendees watched thrilling matches featuring spouses and mothers of Chiefs players, refueled at the Court Cafe, and let their kids run wild in the inclusive Variety KC Kid Zone. Talk about a touchdown for the community!
Mahomes family is a powerhouse of philanthropy
This event is just the latest play in the Mahomes family’s charity playbook. Patrick Mahomes, through his 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, has been racking up points in the game of giving. In the 2023 season, he donated $1,500 for every touchdown to Boys and Girls Clubs of America. That’s on top of a jaw-dropping $1.625 million donation that earned him a Man of the Year award nomination.
But let’s not forget about Jackson Mahomes. He’s been making moves in the charity game. Jackson last month volunteered at Ronald McDonald House Charities Kansas City (RMHC-KC), an organization that’s been a game-changer for over 107,000 families with sick children. Jackson shared his experience on Instagram, writing, “Great day volunteering at the @rmhckc!!” Looks like he’s found his end zone in the world of giving back.
Jackson’s philanthropic playbook doesn’t stop there. He’s been spotted at Children’s Mercy Hospital, delivering “Happy Kits” filled with craft supplies and books to young patients.
But wait, there’s more! Remember the 2024 Super Bowl victory celebration? When chaos struck, Jackson stepped up like it was fourth and goal. According to a female attendee, during a scary incident, Jackson was “stuck hiding with him at Union Station by the trains and he was taking care of a child who lost his parents and helping him calm down.
As reported by KCTV5 on September 14, 2024, the Heart and Serve event wasn’t just about the Mahomes family. Gabrielle Johnson, the wife of Chiefs Cornerback Nazeeh Johnson, chimed in: “Being a part of the community is just so important within myself, within my husband, within our household and just being a part of the Chiefs. They are huge in the community. They are huge in Christianity. We are so excited to be a part of all that.”
As the Mahomes family continues to weave their personal lives with public service, they’re setting a new standard for what it means to be part of the Kansas City community. Their actions speak louder than any touchdown celebration, showing that true champions are made both on and off the field.
