$100,000 Jersey and the Heartwarming Halloween Story of Game MVP Drake Maye – When Victory Lies Not Only on the Field, But in the Hearts of Millions of New England Fans

Foxborough, Massachusetts – October 27, 2025

Just days before Halloween, Drake Maye, the young star of the New England Patriots, delivered a profoundly humane “gift” that moved the entire NFL. Following the dominant 32–13 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Gillette Stadium, Maye decided to auction off the jersey and football he used in that winning game – both personally signed by him – to raise funds for Boston Children’s Hospital.

The auction took place online through NFL Auctions and quickly captured the attention of the Patriots fan community. The biggest surprise came when a billionaire from Boston – who wished to remain anonymous – learned of Maye’s charitable purpose and bid a staggering $100,000 to own this historic jersey.

The entire amount was immediately donated directly by Drake Maye to the fund supporting children with life-threatening illnesses at Boston Children’s Hospital. According to hospital representatives, this contribution will cover treatment costs for dozens of pediatric patients during the year-end season.

After the auction concluded, Maye appeared at the press conference visibly emotional, sharing with a choked voice:

“I play football out of love, but today I feel what I’ve done is bigger than any victory.I play football out of love, but today I feel what I’ve done is bigger than any victory. I’ve met people who fight their own battles every single day – they are the real warriors. If this jersey can give someone hope or strength to keep going, then that’s the greatest win of my life.”

His statement rapidly spread across social media, igniting an explosion of pride throughout Patriots Nation. Thousands of comments hailed Maye as the “new heart of New England”, a young star not only exceptional on the field but with an immense heart.

In this year’s Halloween season, amid laughter and dazzling lights, Drake Maye delivered a message to Patriots fans deeper than any: the greatest strength lies not in a perfect throw – but in the compassion of the one holding the ball.
