Brittany, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, supports a campaign to prevent food allergies. She faced this nightmare with two of her three children, who ended up in the ER because of the condition.
According to AAFA, about 5.6 million children in the U.S. have food allergies. That’s why Brittany promotes awareness about the importance of addressing this issue.
A meaningful mission for Brittany
According to Essentiallysports, she partnered with pharmaceutical company Kaléo, and she is part of The Mahomies Foundation and FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education). This shows her commitment to helping families recognize this condition in young children.
Sterling and Bronze, the Mahomes’ children, have food allergies. In 2024, doctors prescribed AUVI-Q, the only FDA-approved epinephrine auto-injector, to treat food allergy reactions.
To raise awareness, Brittany shared an @foodallergy post on her Instagram stories and offered advice, stating: “As a mom of two young children with food allergies, I know how important it is to be prepared for an allergic emergency.”

She also outlined six ways to address allergies in Kansas City schools, noting: “Every student deserves to feel safe and supported at school, especially those living with food allergies. Nearly 1 in 3 children with food allergies report being bullied because of their condition. No one should have to face that. And it’s something we can all help change—from speaking up to making sure friends with food allergies are always included.”
Brittany urged respect for dietary needs: “Take their allergies seriously and respect their dietary restrictions. Avoid jokes or downplaying their condition.”
She added: “Be aware and accommodating. If your school has students with known food allergies, try not to bring snacks or lunches containing those allergens.”
In another post, she stressed the need for support: “Help your friend navigate food-centered events. Inform others about their allergies and advocate for their needs. If you see someone being teased or excluded because of their allergies, speak up or find an adult.”
Finally, Brittany encouraged people to include those with food allergies so they don’t feel different or left out.
