Baker Mayfield on work with Providence House: "I don’t want credit for charity work, just want kids to live normal lives"

Posted January 31, 2019 in Articles

CLEVELAND — Quarterback Baker Mayfield gave the Cleveland Browns’ fans plenty of reason to cheer with his on-the-field accomplishments during his rookie season, and he continues to do so on a national level for his commitment to bettering the City of Cleveland.

In a national media appearance on The Jim Rome Show on CBS Sports Network in Atlanta at Super Bowl LIII Wednesday, Mayfield talked about auctioning off a dinner for two, which raised $40,000 for Providence House to help at-risk families in Cleveland.

“Unbelievable,” Mayfield said of being able to have a positive impact so quickly into his career.

“To be able to have that opportunity is very special, and to be able to give back to a city that’s believed in me and supported me, and just to be able to impact the youth, give every kid a chance to have the same opportunities as everybody else, I think that’s the important thing about it.”

With Mayfield’s help, the Browns were able to raise more than $100,000 in just 10 minutes to benefit Providence House at their annual “Deck The House” event at FirstEnergy Stadium.
