In Kansas City, the Mahomes name is synonymous with winning but while Patrick is busy leading the Chiefs and recovering from his injury, Brittany Mahomes is carving out a legacy that is arguably just as historic. On February 19, 2026, it was officially announced that Brittany has been named the inaugural recipient of the Champion for Change Award by United WE.
The honor isn’t just a “thank you” for being a local celebrity, it’s a recognition of the serious economic and cultural shift Brittany has spearheaded in Missouri and beyond.
United WE Announces Brittany Mahomes as First Champion for Change Winner
The primary reason for the award is Brittany’s visionary leadership in women’s professional sports.
As a co-owner of the KC Current, she didn’t just buy into a team, she invested in an entire ecosystem. She was a driving force behind the construction of CPKC Stadium, which made global headlines for being the first stadium on Earth built specifically for a women’s professional team.
United WE noted that her leadership proves that when women are
the entire economy grows stronger. By treating women’s sports as a “growing economic engine” rather than a side project, she has changed the blueprint for sports ownership in America.
Beyond the soccer pitch, the award highlights her philanthropic work. Alongside her husband,
Patrick Mahomes, Brittany has channeled millions through the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. These funds have gone directly into underserved communities, focusing on children’s health, wellness, and educational opportunities.
The organization emphasized that Brittany’s role as an entrepreneur, investor, and mother of three makes her the perfect face for this new award.
She represents a generation of women who aren’t just participating in the conversation, they are leading it.
Randi Mahomes celebrated this achievement of her daughter-in-law on her Instagram story, sharing her excitement and publicly showing support for Brittany’s special milestone.
The award will be presented on May 6, 2026, during a milestone event at CPKC Stadium. It’s a full-circle moment for Brittany, receiving the “Champion for Change” honor in the very venue she helped build to change the game for women.
As she continues to expand her reach including her recent induction into the UT Tyler Athletics Hall of Fame, Brittany Mahomes is proving that her impact on Kansas City is only just beginning.
And as for Patrick Mahomes, who after the most difficult season of his career is finally giving Chiefs Kingdom something to smile about. As of late February 2026, the three-time Super Bowl MVP is well into his recovery from the torn ACL and LCL that ended his 2025 campaign prematurely.
