Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes founded the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation in 2019
Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, founded the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation in 2019, before his second season as Kansas City’s starting quarterback. The foundation focuses on improving children’s lives through health and wellness programmes.
The 15 and FARE initiative expands that work by focusing on people living with food allergies, particularly those in communities where access to care and support can be limited.
The programme plans to bring FARE Neighborhoods to the Kansas City area. It also aims to train staff at selected food banks, food pantries and restaurants so they can better handle food allergies and help reduce risks for people who live with them.
By involving local food businesses and community organisations, the initiative seeks to make food allergy support more accessible beyond healthcare settings.
