Brady’s election is intended to help animal rescue
Two-time Super Bowl champion and former New England Patriot Logan Ryan is auctioning off the autographed football from Tom Brady’s final pass as a Patriot. Ryan intercepted his former teammate in the final moments of the 2020 AFC Wild Card Game, securing a win for Tennessee. Reunited as Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022, Ryan and Brady spent time volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, where the Brady family adopted a kitten. A portion of the proceeds will go to Logan and his wife Ashley’s Ryan Animal Rescue Foundation, which supports the animal welfare community through financial and educational resources and focuses on improving the lives of animals in shelters and rescues. The autographed Tom Brady football will be sold through Goldin 100 Auctions. Bidding is open and starts at $100,000. “This ball is more than just a keepsake. It’s a chance to make a real difference,” Ryan said. “Together we can turn Brady’s last pass as a Patriot into a great victory for the Animals!”
