2025 Sweepstakes Recap | Patriots Fans Show Up Big for Adaptive Athletes

This fall, High Fives Foundation launched an unforgettable sweepstakes and the impact went far beyond game day.

The Win the Ultimate Patriots Experience Sweepstakes, donated by the eMaxx Group, gave fans the chance to score premium access to the New England Patriots vs. New York Giants matchup at Gillette Stadium on December 1, 2025, while directly supporting High Fives Foundation’s mission to empower adaptive athletes across North America. These packages were generously donated by Brian McCarthy, CEO of eMaxx.

High Fives Foundation’s connection to the New England Patriots runs deep, thanks in large part to Lonie Paxton, three-time Super Bowl champion and longtime advocate for adaptive sports. Lonie’s leadership and commitment to innovation in sport perfectly align with the Foundation’s mission.

This sweepstakes celebrated the shared values of elite athletics and adaptive sport, perseverance, teamwork, and the belief that all athletes deserve the chance to chase their passions.
