Each year, the Buffalo Bills get into the holiday spirit by hosting the Thanksgiving Blitz. The event, which provides Thanksgiving meals to local families, is made possible by generous donations from Bills players and coaches, who are eager to make an impact. Held at the Food Bank of Western New York, over 30 Bills players teamed up with Bills Owner Kim Pegula, Managing Partner & President Russ Brandon, Bills staff members, the Bills Women’s Association and volunteers from the Food Bank, to hand out meals to over 500 families.
Grateful for the opportunity to use his platform to help those around him, Bills cornerback Leonard Johnson—a first-time participant and firm believer in the power of giving back—brought his son along.
