Between the donations to Lamar Jackson’s charity, the business blitz and beyond the combined power of the Bills and Bills Mafia to make a difference is astounding. I wonder what the combined financial impact of the fans and Bills org. has been during this pandemic?
Remember Josh Allen's infamous attempt to draw the Bills logo when he was a rookie?
Now a pre-school class in Tonawanda is trying to out-do him in the art department. Their story is straight ahead on Daybreak!
@WGRZ
Bills fans if you're feeling generous after Saturday's win- Josh Norman's Buffalo Business Blitz has passed the $440,000 mark and they're still accepting donations. Hoping to get to $500,000 to help local businesses offset the costs of the pandemic

The boys are 1-year old brothers who came to Buffalo last week from a zoo in Utah. They weigh about 6-7 pounds each and may look like house cats, but they’re fierce hunters - able to catch lizards and even venomous vipers 😳

Hero. Jonathan Correa tells me he was the first on his block to wake up this morning when he heard crackling. He ran to both occupied houses to alert them of the fire and assist them. He’s been in touch with the family who lives across from him and says they’re all safe.

This birthday surprise was a lifetime in the making for a WNY World War II veteran -
When the Yankees heard that lifelong fan Paul Catalano was turning 100 this fall, they wanted him to be there to see them play in Buffalo and hooked his crew up with tickets 💙
