Chiefs fans donate over $100K to Buffalo children's hospital
Kansas City Chiefs fans are taking a page out of the Bills Mafia playbook and showing their generosity following the team's divisional-round win.
Buffalo's John R. Oishei Children's Hospital announced Wednesday morning that Chiefs fans have donated more than $100,000 to its Patricia Allen Fund, which is named after the late grandmother of Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
An incredible $178,000 from over 9800 donors has been donated in just over 24 hours from #ChiefsKingdom Thank you all! These donations help the ongoing need and ensure our team has the tools, training and programs to care for the kids in WNY ❤️ pic.twitter.com/wWXvDXxjXF

Many of the donations are being made in increments of $13, a reference to the 13 seconds it took for the Chiefs to tie the Bills on Sunday and send the game to overtime.
Suggesting all Chiefs fans donate $13 to Josh Allen’s foundation to commemorate the drive that tied the game with just 13 seconds left and the best playoff game in Chiefs history

The Patricia Allen Fund was launched in 2020 after Bills fans began making $17 donations to the Oishei Children's Hospital to honor Allen's grandmother after she passed away at the age of 80. The hospital unveiled a recovery wing named after Patricia Allen last year.
