Josh Allen calls donations pouring in ‘overwhelming’ and ‘unbelievable’
While usually we highlight organizations or athletes, today we can talk about fans. Bills Mafia banded together and have collectively donated over $300,000 to the Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo in memory of Patricia Allen, the grandmother of Bills quarterback Josh Allen. After a spectacular performance against the Seahawks with 415 yards, four total touchdowns, and a win, fans and media learned of Allen’s prior circumstances. A Reddit user suggested that Bills fans make $17 donations to the hospital to show their support. The idea took off, and the donations continued to grow.
We encourage you to give generously to allow us to work to make meaningful change and to support the many organizations that are doing terrific work in this space. Please click below to make your donation
