I get a half dozen phone calls a day with nonsense. Thoughts? It's a legit question. Here is the website for the charity. http://www.theteachersdesk.org/media/ Their track record and media coverage is pretty inspiring. The video from the founder is really well done. The support from various organizations like the WalMart Foundation made me crack open my wallet and you know how much of a cheap bastage I am... Edited May 16, 2019 by JoeF 1

Its right on channel 4’s website - https://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/donations-for-backpacks-filled-with-school-supplies-being-accepted-in-pancho-billa-s-name/2004378102
RocCityRoller Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) $39 to Panchos's pack. $1 for each year... it felt right. I saw somewhere Pancho wanted school supplies donated in his name instead of flowers. https://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/donations-for-backpacks-filled-with-school-supplies-being-accepted-in-pancho-billa-s-name/2004378102 It's the best way I felt I could honor him Edited May 16, 2019 by RocCityRoller
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Pancho Billa 8 hrs · Ezra's first celebration of life will be held this Saturday May 18, 2019. The service will be held at Christ Church Irving, 1750 E. Airport Fwy, Irving, TX 75062. Family will receive guest from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. We wish to honor Ezra's request and ask that everyone wear their favorite team jersey to the service. In lieu of flowers we ask for kids backpacks with school supplies for Panchospacks for Panchoskids. Details for El Paso viewing/service (possible Buffalo, NY) will be coming as soon as possible. We love you and Thank you all for your continued prayers and support during this difficult time. ❤Much Love, Veronica Edited May 16, 2019 by DaBillsFanSince1973 2
mead107 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Veronica is a great person. Hope she brings the kids to Buffalo for a game. 1

I get a half dozen phone calls a day with nonsense. Thoughts? that seems like an awesome cause! Although, I’m having trouble seeing how that’s 100 bucks worth of supplies. It’s definitely more than $10 worth though ?? Edited May 16, 2019 by RiotAct
One Buffalo Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Glad to see that mod's made a sticky with the Pancho's pack info, I was a little disappointed that my post with all the relevant info was merged so no one would see it. @Hapless Bills Fan - maybe you could include the News 4 video and or other info in your post? Up to you I guess but thanks for getting the info before everyone.
ddaryl Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) May the spirit of Pancho Billa affect us all !!! Now lets get his name up on the wall !!! $25 DONATED AND 1 PANCHO POWER TSHIRT PURCHASED Edited May 16, 2019 by ddaryl
Uncle Joe Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Pancho's celebration of life this Saturday is my dad's 83rd birthday. My dad is a cancer survivor so it will make my day even more special. I believe Pancho's legacy as a super fan is that has connected the players and the fans to the fact that football is just a game in this thing we call life. Tho we cannot disregard his passion for the game. He has been an inspiration to both fans, players and the organization. 39 is way to young. RIP Pancho "They only let him slip away Out of kindness I suppose" 2
uticaclub Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) So 2019 will bring changes on and off the field. We’ve all heard of the new Tailgate Village that they are creating this year, what if we dedicate Tailgate Village to Pancho Billa, he represented everything a Bills fan should be. How does everyone feel about that? Edited May 17, 2019 by uticaclub 1
machine gun kelly Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I like it. I can’t believe Kim Pegula would oppose it.
