Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman is stepping up to help local businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Norman announced Tuesday that he plans to use $25,000 of his own money to donate up to $2,500 to small businesses in Buffalo as part of an initiative called Buffalo Business Blitz, according to WGRZ. He also encouraged others to donate to the initiative with the goal of raising $1 million.
"I'm calling on local business leaders and philanthropists to add to our donation so we can support as many businesses as possible," Norman said. "And to the Bills Mafia, I've seen what you are capable of. I want you to give what you can because without these small businesses, Buffalo is not the same secret."
I am a newcomer to the city of Buffalo, but for these past 6months I’ve grown to call this place home. In my short time of living here I’ve experienced what makes this place truly great. And that’s the People. (1/5) pic.twitter.com/0oWBO1aY4p
