Baker and Emily Mayfield Announce Launch of Baker & Emily Foundation

-

TAMPA – Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily Mayfield are proud to announce today, the launch of their new foundation, The Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation. 

The Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation is an effort born from their deep gratitude and desire to pay it forward, and will focus on pillars of success, resilience, and strength. The organization will provide programs, scholarships, and philanthropic opportunities to help others tackle life's challenges in order to BE the best version of themselves.

“BE the ball” will be the Foundation’s first event in Tampa, supporting their initiative “BE successful”. Everyone is invited, from Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans to University of Oklahoma alumni to come play in the Topgolf tournament in Tampa and help support early childhood literacy in the Tampa Bay area.

Following an afternoon at the Topgolf range, there will be an after party including all participants, Baker and Emily Mayfield and other Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the Topgolf rooftop with a hosted full bar and dining experience.  

“Your generosity and support will play a pivotal role in helping us impact the future success of Tampa Bay youth. Access to early childhood education is a game changer for at-risk youth, and we want to help change that game,” said Baker Mayfield.

Emily Mayfield added, “Your participation in BE The ball will help our community’s youth BE successful! Not to mention, it will be a great time celebrating with us and some of Baker’s teammates.” 

The tournament will take place on August 27th, at Topgolf in Tampa, Florida from 3:00-5:00 p.m., followed by an exciting in-venue post event dinner on the rooftop deck from 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Hitting bay packages are available for purchase now, with limited space available.

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan.

(Photo by Nancy Beecher/Florida Sports Wire)   TAMPA (Florida Sports Wire) - Garrett Nussmeier showed why LSU is confident he's capable of thriving as Jayden Daniels' successor. The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f
