The Challenge<\/em> raised a record-breaking $6 million<\/strong> in total donations for Best Buddies International<\/strong>,<\/a> a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).<\/p>\n

Tom Brady<\/strong>, New England Patriots Quarterback and Best Buddies Global Ambassador, served as Honorary Co-Chair, along with Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri <\/strong>and Congressman Joseph P.

The weekend\u2019s festivities kicked off with the Tom Brady Football Challenge<\/em> and the Guy Cooking with Best Buddies Celebrity Chef Food and Wine Festival <\/em>at Harvard on Friday, June 2. Fans enjoyed delicious treats by Chobani and Cold Stone as they filled the stands at Harvard Stadium to watch Team Pepsi-Cola<\/strong> take on Team Shaw\u2019s Foundation and Star Market Foundation. <\/strong>It was a thrilling and close game, but Team Pepsi-Cola emerged victorious with a final score of 84-70<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During the game, Brady played quarterback for Team Pepsi-Cola and Team Shaw\u2019s Foundation & Star Market Foundation alongside Best Buddies participants, supporters and special guests. Past and present New England Patriots joined in on the game, some of which included Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman, Dion Lewis,<\/strong> Dan Koppen, <\/strong>and James White; <\/strong>who were also joined by Actresses Olivia Culpo<\/strong> and Charlotte McKinney, <\/strong>and Governor of Massachusetts Charlie Baker. <\/strong>Several other celebrities attended the festivities including Olympian Carl Lewis, <\/strong>Singer Marlana Vanhoose who performed throughout the event; Actor Jason Lewis, <\/strong>Miss USA 2017 K\u00e1ra McCullough<\/strong>, and Miss Teen USA 2016 Karlie Hay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the Best Buddies<\/em> Tom Brady Football Challenge<\/em> halftime presentation, Foxwoods Resort Casino delivered another captivating show where the resort presented Best Buddies Chairman and Founder Anthony K. Shriver with a $100,000 donation on its behalf and announced the development of the Foxwoods HighFlyer Zipline opening this summer. Best Buddies Global Ambassador Tom Brady helped Foxwoods President and CEO Felix Rappaport <\/strong>and Chairman Rodney Butler<\/strong> of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal present the donation and kicked off the announcement by throwing a football pass at 60 miles per hour \u2013 the top speed of the zipline \u2013 at a $100,000 target.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s evening concluded with the Second Annual<\/strong> Guy Cooking with Best Buddies Celebrity Chef Food and Wine Festival, presented by Pepsi-Cola, Shaw\u2019s Foundation and Star Market Foundation. <\/strong>More than 30 chefs from top local restaurants provided food tastings and complimentary wine and spirits options, and several Best Buddies sous chefs prepared delicious food for guests, all for a great cause. Steve DiFillippo,<\/strong> Founder of the world-famous Davio\u2019s Restaurant Group and inductee to the Massachusetts Restaurant Hall of Fame, and Chef Allen Campbell <\/strong>served as the Special Chef Vice-Chairs of the event.<\/p>\n

Guests were also treated to a special dinner reception after the Food and Wine Festival, where several Best Buddies participants spoke about the life-changing effects the organization has had on their lives. Best Buddies Global Ambassador Guy Fieri later presented each buddy sous chef who participated in the Food and Wine Festival with a personally-signed certificate of completion.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, June 3, Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port<\/em> participants turned out in droves for a 100, 50, or 20 mile bike ride and laced up their running shoes for a 5K run\/walk. Best Buddies Ambassador Christina Hundley sang a powerful rendition of the \u201cNational Anthem,\u201d at the opening ceremonies for the 100-mile start at Santander Bank in Dorchester. \u00a0Professional cyclists George Hincapie <\/strong>and Christian Vande Velde <\/strong>were amongst the group of riders making their way down the picturesque New England streets.<\/p>\n

Many Best Buddies supporters and participants encouraged riders at the start lines, thanking them for their efforts towards making society more inclusive and wishing them a great ride. Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III <\/strong>spoke at the 20-mile start reminding the cyclists that their endeavors were greatly appreciated and several Best Buddies Ambassadors spoke throughout the event relating their personal accounts with the Best Buddies\u2019 mission.<\/p>\n

At the finish line, Best Buddies participants competed on tandem bicycles in the \u201cFriendship Races\u201d, including Tom Brady and his best buddy Katie Meade, and Julian Edelman. The Challenge<\/em> was capped off by a celebratory clambake and private concert by the legendary Joan Jett and the Blackhearts<\/strong>, who rocked the crowd with several of their classic hits.<\/p>\n

During the festivities, Anthony K. Shriver<\/strong>, Founder and Chairman, Best Buddies International, encouraged guests to \u201cSponsor a Buddy” (to attend the Best Buddies International Leadership Conference in July) through the Tom Brady Football Toss. Brady tossed signed footballs to guests who paid $1,000 or more for each one, giving Best Buddies participants the opportunity to attend the conference. Best Buddies also auctioned off a custom-made BMC bicycle <\/strong>and a Hublot Classic Fusion timepiece<\/strong>, both for $13,000. In total, the football tosses and auctions raised $118,800 at both Friday\u2019s tailgate celebration and Saturday\u2019s clambake in Hyannis Port.<\/p>\n

The event was another record-breaking success, and an excellent stride in making the world more inclusive for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities!<\/p>\n
