Lamar Jackson thanks Bills fans for donating over $360K to his favorite charity

On Sunday we told you about how a large group of Buffalo Bills fans did something pretty awesome for Lamar Jackson and one of the QB’s favorite charities after he was knocked out of Saturday night’s loss with a concussion.

Well, those fans were even more incredible that we once thought as they have raised over $360,000 for Blessings in a Backpack, a nonprofit charity that helps provides food to elementary schools kids on the weekend who might go hungry without the help.

How awesome is that? Over $360K!

Jackson was in awe of it, too, as he tweeted this thank you to all the Bills fans who showed their support:

Appreciate that #BillsMafia Means A lot not to only me but those kids as well💜💜 https://t.co/fDNjJMpni9

— Lamar Jackson (@Lj_era8) January 18, 2021

Too good.
