Tom Brady makes surprise appearance to help raise money at breast cancer benefit
Tom Brady surprised those in attendance at the Kelley for Ellie breast cancer benefit and fashion show on Wednesday night, via The Boston Herald.
The Patriots quarterback jumped onto the runway with autographed footballs, and tossed them to audience members willing to donate $1,000. According to WCVB.com, the event raised a total of $170,000.
“We are so grateful that Tom Brady made the 10th Kelley for Ellie the best one yet,” event founder WCVB’s Kelley Tuthill told The Herald. “Several women in the crowd are going through challenging breast cancer treatments right now. What a lift it was for them to see New England’s biggest superstar show he also has the biggest heart.”
Brady has a handful of upcoming charity events, including the Tom Brady Football Challenge on Friday and a bikeathon on Saturday. Both events will raise money for Best Buddies, an organization supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
