Hy-Vee donates $100,000 to K.C. quarterback Mahomes’ children’s charity
Although the Kansas City Chiefs were shut down in Sunday’s big game, a health and wellness charity founded by quarterback Patrick Mahomes is still a winner. West Des Moines-based grocery chain Hy-Vee Inc. on Friday announced it has donated $100,000 to the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, which Mohomes established in 2019. The $100,000 contribution is in addition to Hy-Vee’s donation of a portion of the sales of the company’s Mahomes Magic Crunch, which is a limited-edition collector’s cereal featuring Mahomes on the box. The 15 and the Mahomies Foundation supports initiatives that focus on health, wellness, communities in need of resources and other charitable causes. It has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars since its inception, directly benefiting youths in the Kansas City area. Hy-Vee signed an exclusive three-year promotional agreement with Mahomes in 2019.
