Announcing our Third Annual “Be the Ball” Event, a Fundraiser to Support Charities in Tampa Bay
TAMPA, Florida (June 25, 2025) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily Mayfield are proud to announce their third annual Be the Ball event on August 24, 2025, to benefit a soon-to-be-announced charity organization in the local community at TopGolf in Tampa Bay.
The Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation is an effort born from the Mayfield’s deep gratitude and desire to pay it forward, focusing on pillars of youth success, resilience, and strength. The organization provides programs, scholarships, and philanthropic opportunities to help others tackle life's challenges to BE the best version of themselves.
The Foundation launched its first annual “BE the ball” event in August 2023, raising funds that ultimately helped families across Tampa Bay access high-quality early learning experiences in support of its initiative, “BE successful.” They followed the event up with last year’s event, which raised over $220,000.
This year’s event will take place on Sunday, August 24, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. The ticketed event is open to everyone, from Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans to the University of Oklahoma alums and those looking to give back to the community to play in the Topgolf tournament and help support the Tampa Bay area.
Following an afternoon at the Topgolf range, players can enjoy hosted cocktails and dinner with Baker & Emily Mayfield and other Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the rooftop deck.
"We’re so excited to unite with our community and continue to make an impact in Tampa," shared Baker. "Emily and I want to help further improve our community, especially among the youth. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Tampa Bay community for its outstanding support and generosity in helping advance our mission to empower the next generation.”
“These past two years of Be the ball have been amazing, and we look forward to continuing to grow the event this year. Being on the ground and using our platform to have an impact on our community has been incredibly rewarding,” added Emily. “That being said, continued support is needed to make a difference in our community’s challenges. We know this year's event will be the most impactful yet, and we look forward to seeing everyone on August 24."
Hitting bay packages and individual tickets are now available for purchase, with limited space available.
