Super Bowl champion and Patriots co-captain, Jerod Mayo, hosted his teammates, sponsors, family, friends and fans at the 6th Annual Mayo Bowl celebrity bowling tournament on Monday Kings in Dedham.

The event, which is the largest professional athlete attended gathering in the New England area, benefits Boston Medical Center (BMC). This year’s tournament was the most successful Mayo Bowl to date with $400,000 raised for BMC. With that amount, Jerod and his wife Chantel continue to make great strides toward their pledge to raise $1.5 million for BMC over a three-year period.

“Boston Medical Center never turns away (anyone from) care, and that’s why I decided to partner with them,” Mayo told the Boston Herald. “No matter what socioeconomic background you come from, they’ll take care of you. That’s dear to our hearts because my wife and I come from humble beginnings and we know how it is.”

The event was certainly star-studded as it was attended by over forty current and former New England Patriots players including Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Tedy Bruschi, Chandler Jones, Devin McCourty, Danny Amendola, Malcolm Butler, Nate Solder, Rob Ninkovich, Dont’a Hightower, Matthew Slater and more.

Jared Sullinger of the Boston Celtics and Brad Knighton of the New England Revolution were also in attendance. The support of Jerod’s peers created an energetic and entertaining atmosphere that was felt throughout the night.

Mayo has hosted the celebrity bowling tournament at Kings in Dedham since 2010.
