Chiefs’ fans pulled off a class act after donating more than $250,000 to a Buffalo Children’s Hospital after the team beat the Bills in overtime during the playoffs.
It all started after a call went out to fans of Chiefs Kingdom to “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,” a post on Twitter read. The post included a link to the Patricia Allen Fund so fans could donate to the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, reported Bills Wire Wednesday.
