ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — A group of Bills fans are turning Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay into a positive.
The 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers included some questionable calls to Bills fans, including Hunter Schinabeck in Massachusetts. He decided to donate to a charity, in honor of the referees.
That charity would up being Visually Impaired Advancement, or VIA, a Buffalo nonprofit that works with the visually impaired community. VIA helps people who have had a loss of vision in Western New York.
As of Wednesday night, more than $40,000 had been donated. Visually Impaired Advancement shared the news on Twitter as donations rolled in.
This isn't the first time Bills fans have donated to a good cause.
First there were some donations to the Andy and Jordan Dalton Foundation in honor of Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals helping the Bills make the playoffs.
A similar wave of donations happened a year ago after the death of Josh Allen's grandmother, Patricia Allen. After the Seattle Seahawks game, a fan suggested that people donate $17 to Oishei Children's Hospital.
After the mass amounts of donations, the hospital named the Pediatric Recovery Wing after Patricia Allen, as well as a new fund to honor her.
Most recently, after the Bills announced that an MRI confirmed that Pro Bowl cornerback Tre’Davious White suffered a torn ACL and would be lost for the season, a Twitter account called @BillsMafiaBabes announced that it would donate $27 to the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana in White's honor. He wears No. 27.
Co-founder of 26 Shirts Del Reid quickly retweeted it, adding "Let's do this." He has been retweeting people who provide a screen grab of their successful donations ever since.
The food bank describes itself on Twitter as "the largest distributor of donated food in seven parishes."
