Summary - Cincinnati beat Baltimore yesterday sealing up a playoff berth for Buffalo. The Bills haven't been in the playoffs for 17 years. Buffalo fans started flooding the charity founded by Cincy's quarterback and his wife.
Bills fans donate to Andy Dalton's charitable foundation
Dalton pulled out his phone to check the numbers on donations to his foundation, noting that most of them were in $17 increments. He thought about it for a moment, then he realized why.
The $17 dollars represent the 17 seasons between playoff berths for the Bills.
The foundation's website tweeted Monday evening: "Bills fans, you're truly amazing. All of your donations have added up to $14,000 and that's still growing! Thank you for believing in Andy and JJ and the mission of the foundation. Good luck in the playoffs! #BillsMafia #Buffalo"
Many of the foundation's community outreach programs revolve around helping children, especially those with special needs, and their families in greater Cincinnati.
"Buffalo fans are a class act," it read. "Thank you for showing your appreciation to Andy Dalton by supporting the families we serve. All of your donations will go to our outreach programs. We can do more with your help."
