Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily are hosting a charity event dedicated to raising mental health awareness, scheduled for June 7, 2025, in Omaha. The NFL quarterback and his wife, who operate the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation, aim to bring families together for a day of fun while supporting essential mental health resources.
The Upcoming Mental Health Fundraiser and Community Gathering
The Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation, known for its outreach toward children, disaster relief, and mental health, announced its latest initiative to benefit the Omaha Community Alliance. The event will begin at 10 a.m. and encourage community members to participate by walking or biking. Attendees will also enjoy food and family-friendly activities designed to foster connection and support for mental health awareness.
Emily Mayfield invited the public via social media, emphasizing the inclusive, family-oriented nature of the event. She said:
“Join @bakermayfield and I in supporting Omaha’s Community Alliance at @bikewithmikeday Saturday, June 7, 2025 at 10am. We’re raising awareness and money for mental health resources in the community. It’s a family event – come walk or bike – and of course grab some tacos! More info available at bikewithmikeday.com”
Support for Student Athletes Through the Walk On Scholarship
In another effort to assist young people, the Mayfields recently launched the Walk On Scholarship to empower college athletes in advancing their education and sports careers. This scholarship offers two awards of $10,000 each, specifically for college sophomores, juniors, and seniors who qualify as walk-on student athletes.
The foundation has reminded interested applicants about the approaching deadline of June 15, 2025, to apply for this financial support.
“The application deadline is quickly approaching for our Walk On Scholarship. Help us spread the word to deserving walk-on student-athletes, as we look to award two $10,000 scholarships!”
This scholarship reflects the Mayfields’ dedication to fostering opportunities for student athletes who might not otherwise receive recognition or assistance within their collegiate programs.
Emily Mayfield’s Heartfelt Tribute for Mother’s Day
Alongside their charitable initiatives, Emily Mayfield recently shared a touching message celebrating Mother’s Day, highlighting her deep appreciation for her family. The post included a family photo and expressed gratitude toward motherhood and her supportive husband, Baker Mayfield.
“My most prized role in the universe- “Mom”. Thank you Jesus for trusting me to raise this baby girl. Thank you Fergus for being my most perfect first baby & allowing me to dip my toes into motherhood. Thank you Koko for making me a mama & taking it so easy on me. And thank you, Baker, for being my partner in this wild ride. There’s no one better. I’m the luckiest girl alive & I am beyond thankful.”
The couple has been married since July 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Kova Jade Mayfield, in April 2024, marking a new chapter in their lives filled with family joy and shared purpose.
The Importance of the Mayfields’ Efforts and Future Prospects
Baker Mayfield’s involvement in mental health awareness through this charity event highlights the growing emphasis on supporting psychological well-being within communities, especially as athletes and public figures increasingly use their platforms for social good. By combining recreational activities with awareness campaigns, the event promises to engage the Omaha community in meaningful ways.
Meanwhile, the Walk On Scholarship stands as a significant investment in the futures of student-athletes, encouraging perseverance and academic achievement. Together, these initiatives reflect the Mayfields’ passion for uplifting others through both mental health and education, with lasting impact expected in the Omaha area and beyond.
