Drake Maye donated his entire wedding to help homeless kids and didn’t brag about it

In a time when the NFL headlines are flooded with arrests, holdouts, and contract drama, one rookie just flipped the script with a story so pure it’ll make your heart melt. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, fresh off his wedding to his middle-school sweetheart Ann Michael, quietly donated every single gift from the ceremony, the money, the presents, everything to children’s shelters and homeless centers.

He didn’t post about it, didn’t make a statement, he just did it. And we only know thanks to a broadcaster who spilled the tea on air.

Drake Maye didn’t take a single wedding gift, he gave them all to shelters for kids in need

According to longtime Patriots radio announcer Scott Zolak, the rookie QB and his wife donated all their wedding gifts both physical items and cash to local shelters that help children in need. “Didn’t take one gift,” Zolak said during a recent segment. “Everything was donated to kids that don’t have shoes, that don’t have Christmas.”

Zolak revealed the couple made the donation quietly, without telling anyone publicly. It wasn’t some social media stunt or brand collab. It was simply about giving back.The donations reportedly went to shelters and centers in North Carolina, where Maye grew up and became a hometown hero long before going pro.

This wasn’t for clout, it was a promise Maye and his wife made years ago

This move wasn’t impulsive. It turns out, Drake and Ann Michael had made this decision years ago, way before the NFL spotlight.

According to reports, the couple promised each other that if Drake ever “made it,” they would use their wedding as a chance to give back to the community that raised them. So when the wedding rolled around this June, they kept their word. Every dollar, every wrapped box, all gone straight to shelters helping kids in tough situations.

It wasn’t just about generosity; it was about following through on a dream they shared before fame, cameras, or the NFL ever entered the picture.
