Way to honour her kid.    Thoughts for the Allen family.

Nice that they included the link to donate, giving the cause some national press.

 

 

Yeah, Florio/Simms/PFT have been putting it out there and encouraging people to give to the cause for a few days now. Quite respectable of them. :thumbsup:

This is why I'm a loyal Bills fan.  Back in the Super Bowl heydays, I was attracted to the grit of those players and those teams.  But it's the people of Buffalo and Western NY that really got me.  I saw the Niagara Square rally where everyone was chanting for Scott Norwood to speak - even though he had missed the game-winning field goal as we all know (I personally don't blame him).  He was so moved and so was I.  That was just an incredible outpouring of love like I've never seen before.  It also showed Buffalo Bills fans had immense class.  That much was clear.   And I was pretty much hooked after that.  Over time, I've come to really understand how special Buffalo Bills fans are.  It feels like I'm part of a family - a damn loyal family.  It's been a rough couple of decades but I've never wanted to jump ship.  There's just no other place like Buffalo and no other fans like Buffalo Bills fans.

What was the final number donated to Daltons Charity???  Anyone remember. 

I saw a bengals fan tweet that he donated to josh’s charity because of when bills fans donated to dalton’s. Things you love to see.

I wasn't alive for the Super Bowls... but I remember growing up my parents telling me about the exact scene you just described. 

 

Everyone chanting for Scott after he missed the FG. I didn't really understand the magnitude of that, but now I do. That story... that concept will always stick with me. 

 

I find it unbelievably powerful. I'm so glad you brought it up.

Kudos to all of the Bengals fans donating, returning our donation favor from Dalton's TD!!!  Pretty cool stuff


So funny that the donations are the same $$.... it was $17 then for the drought, right?

I saw that in an ESPN (or something along those lines) feature and it about made me cry.

From John Kriks column in the Toronto Sun

 

BUFFALO FOREVER

After losing his grandmother last Saturday, Buffalo QB Josh Allen

has been blown away by the support Bills fans have shown for him.

They have donated more than $315,000 to Oishei Children’s Hospital in memory of Patricia Allen.

“My family is forever engraved, myself included,” said Allen, a California native, per ESPN. “I don’t ever want to leave. I want to play here for as long as I can and give back to this community and Bills Mafia.”

How’s that for a feel-good story?

Yup... a dollar for every year since the last time they were in the playoffs.

Totals at 0700 EST this morning:

 

$358K from 18K donors

 

4.25 hrs. Later at 1115:

 

$386K from 19.5K donors

 

so $28K raised from 1500 donors in that time span, or approximately $7K/hr from 375 donors/hr

 

 

Really impressive to be rolling like this during day 4.  Huge shout out to the BC/BS employees of WNY for the killer $17K donation yesterday!
