KANSAS CITY, Mo. — From a Super Bowl trophy to a 99 rating in Madden and a Nickelodeon Valuable Player Award, it seems like there isn’t an award Patrick Mahomes can’t win.

The Chiefs’ quarterback just picked up another honor. This time it doesn’t have anything to do with his time on the football field.

The SEAL Legacy Foundation presented Mahomes with its Patriot Award during an annual gala for the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Monday evening. The foundation said it chose to honor Mahomes because of the scholarships he provided to children of fallen U.S. Navy SEALS.

During the gala, the 15 and the Mahomies funded 15 college scholarships. The foundation also gave 15 charitable organizations grants in the amount of $15,015.15.

It was the second year for the 15 and the Mahomies gala.
