Who We Are

At the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation, our events are more than just gatherings—they are powerful catalysts for community transformation. By bridging the gap between professional sports and local philanthropy, we turn high-energy competitions into life-changing opportunities for local youth and families. Every ticket purchased, every vote cast, and every dollar donated fuels a charity fighting on the front lines.
