No one is more excited about the upcoming football season than Buccaholics.
It’s a world-wide fan group that hosts fundraisers throughout the football season.
Cheryl Stewart is a proud Buccaholic, and says off-season moves and star quarterback Baker Mayfield are driving anticipation for the upcoming season.
“As a longtime fan, we were, many of us you know, were leery of what was going to happen in a post-Brady era, and who would follow such an act,” said Stewart. “Baker Mayfield is that guy. He has come in here and just proven to us time and time again he’s willing to do whatever it takes to pick up that first down, to stay up, to get that out to Mike Evans, to block for Bucky, or do whatever it takes.”
The Buccaholics are hosting two major fundraisers this year.
One will happen in Seattle and the other outside SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
