After raising over $2.2 million to benefit Western New York charities over the last two years of Give 716, the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres announced that the initiative will return for a third year this summer.
Buffalo’s Give 716 in 2023 will begin at 7:16 p.m. on Sunday, July 16 and run through 7:16 a.m. on Tuesday, July 18. Registration is now open for all local charities who wish to be a part of the event.
“The support of Give 716 in our first two years has been incredible. Bills and Sabres fans continue to step up and give back to these amazing charities that mean so much to our community,” said event organizers Michelle Roberts (Bills Foundation) and Rich Jureller (Sabres Foundation). “We look forward to engaging our fans and working with partner organizations to make an even bigger impact this year.”
