Bills WR Stefon Diggs gives out backpacks, gift cards and holds huge events at Buffalo Shooting Site
The Buffalo Shooting at Tops Supermarket was a tragic and hateful crime that took many lives. Stefon Diggs the Buffalo Bills star wide receiver knows the impact that it left on the community and wanted to return to the site and do something special.
Diggs arrived and held a huge event for the kids and families in the area.
Diggs partnered with the city of Buffalo and Mayor Byron Brown to hold the event, where he handed out 300 Nike gift cards and 300 Nike backpacks filled with supplies.
Stefon approached the Mayor’s office with the idea of holding the giveaway outside the Tops on Jefferson Ave — where 10 were killed and 3 others were injured in May — and plans on making it an annual event, according to WIVB4.
“I saw my mom struggle … so as far as paying it forward and doing my due diligence, this is what my mom would want me to do anyway,” Diggs told WIVB-Channel 4.
“I feel like I’m being impactful, and I’m going to always do something in the inner city.”
I am a diehard Bills fan so it is hard for me not to love Diggs and this team. From the fans to the city, they are different. Go Bills
