[edit] Personal life

In 1996, Mayberry contributed $100,000 to Eagles Youth Partnership to finance the Eagles Eye Mobile, a mobile unit giving free eye examinations to underprivileged youth in the Philadelphia region. This can partially be contributed to a condition Mayberry developed as a child, as he has amblyopia in one eye. He is also known to have established a frozen water ice franchise called Jayberry's Water Ice around 2003. [3]
