The Bills donated an undisclosed amount of their own money to this initiative, according to WKBW. Not only does the Bills players donation provide interment access for students to complete their schoolwork, but it also sends a message to students, from their Hometwion Hero Buffalo Bills that learning is that important to them to the extent they would donate their own money so these students can succeed.
The Bills will not stop there. According to the WKBW News report, the players are also going to assist and educate people in the community who don't normally vote, as well as help the city get a precise census count.
