Celebrate the National Park Service with these fabulous gifts

Find great park-themed presents.

In 1872, the United States became the first country to create a national park: Yellowstone. Over the next four decades, various government entities oversaw the country’s parks, monuments, and reserves, including the Departments of Agriculture, War, and the Interior. Then, in 1916, the National Park Service was born. It’s grown to be America’s favorite public agency. Now, the National Park System has 423 sites, 63 of which are full-fledged parks. The rest fall into categories like national monuments, seashores, trails, recreation areas, and historic sites.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes sends Whitehouse High School football team a gift

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes surprised his high school football team with some of his Adidas Mahomes 1 Impact FLX shoes.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has once again surprised the Whitehouse High School football team. Last time, he made a surprise visit to chat with the football team while he was in town for a prior speaking engagement. This time around, he sent all the players on the team a gift.

Mahomes, in coordination with 1UP Sports Marketing and Adidas, sent the football team some gifts that they received this week. The Whitehouse Independent School District shared some images on social media of players from the football team reacting to their gifts.

Each player received a pair of his Adidas Mahomes 1 Impact FLX shoes in varying colorways. The reactions from the student-athletes were pretty exciting to see.

This isn’t the first time that Mahomes has donated sneakers to athletes at his alma mater. He and his brother surprised the football team with new Adidas sneakers back in 2019 via his 15 and the Mahomies foundation. In 2017, he donated new cleats to the Whitehouse High School football team.

This is just one of the many ways that Mahomes continues to give back to his communities and the places that helped shape him into who he is today.
