Tom Brady Brings Celebrities, Fun To Best Buddies Football Challenge

Tom Brady hit the field at Harvard Stadium for his annual Best Buddies Football Challenge on Friday night, and he was joined by New England Patriots teammates and celebrities to help raise awareness of a great cause.

The event, which is near and dear to the quarterback’s heart, benefited Best Buddies International, the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Best Buddies serves the IDD community, which includes, but isn’t limited to, those with Down Syndrome, Autism, Fragile X, Williams Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, traumatic brain injury and other undiagnosed disabilities.

Watch the videos below for NESN.com’s full report from the event, along with 1-on-1 interviews with Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola, TV host Maria Menounos and the Spice Girls’ Mel B.
