"Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo received the prestigious Ron Burton community service award during the preseason, but that didn't mean he accomplished everything he set out to do in the community.

The captain held his second annual Mayo Bowl event at King's Dedham last night, and teammates flocked to support the cause. Money raised went to benefit Pitching in for Kids, a charity that helps enhance the lives of local children, and to Boston Medical Center, which provides health services to all in need of care.

"Those guys give health care to people who can't afford it," Mayo said of Boston Medical Center. "And Pitching in for Kids is two businesswomen in Boston with a dream, and I support their dream. And hopefully we can raise enough money to help those guys out.""
