NFL star Drake Maye promotes Boston charity with new haircut
NFL star Drake Maye has made a drastic change to his appearance after Super Bowl 60, and it’s giving a Massachusetts hospital major recognition.
The New England Patriots quarterback is preparing for the 2026 NFL season following the team’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, Maye is sporting a new look after helping raise money for a worthy cause.

Maye and the Boston Children’s Hospital teamed up to raise funds for deserving kids in need. That led to Maye having his head shaved to bring more awareness to the children’s hospital during the Saving by Shaving charity event.

Maye’s wife, Ann Michael, was spotted in a video Tuesday holding the electric razor up to her NFL star husband’s head. Ann Michael has become a celebrity in her own right in recent months after appearing in many social media videos cooking and baking for the Maye family.
Luckily for Maye and Patriots fans, the young quarterback isn’t completely bald heading into a busy offseason for New England. However, the generous act has still brought great attention to Boston Children’s Hospital.
Patriots star, wife debut charitable foundation
Maye and his wife have launched the MayeDay Family Foundation to help children and families in need, particularly those in New England and North Carolina.
The foundation is hosting its first fundraising event in May during a celebrity softball game at Polar Park in Worcester, Mass.

“I actually cut my grandma’s hair one time and it looked so horrible,” said Ann Michael. “It was during COVID and she really needed a haircut so I gave her one. It looked so bad, so, we’ll see how this goes.”

The Patriots are hopeful that the AFC East champions will be able to continue their success with Maye in 2026. Last season, New England exceeded expectations by reaching the AFC Championship Game in Maye’s second season.
The former North Carolina quarterback was selected third overall by New England in the 2024 NFL Draft. NFL signal callers Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels were each drafted in the two spots before Maye.
