Buffalo Bills fans honored Josh Allen's deceased grandmother in a big way this week by donating $483,000 to the Oishei Children's Hospital in her memory. The donations now have totaled half a million dollars thanks to the Bills quarterback himself.
Allen revealed on Twitter on Friday that he donated $17,000 to the hospital, bringing the total donations to $500,000. The donations came in $17 increments — for Allen's jersey number — so it's only fitting that the QB donated a whopping $17K to the cause.
Unreal. Count me in for $17,000 to make it $500,000 ❤️ https://t.co/8oyTGK29rY

Allen has made frequent visits to the hospital since being drafted by the Bills in 2018 and helped raise money for the facility through his cereal and a collaboration with New Era.
The 24-year-old learned of his grandmother's death less than 24 hours before taking the field for the Bills on Sunday. He balled out against the Seattle Seahawks, too, tying a career-high with 415 passing yards and four total touchdowns in a 44-34 win.
