Buffalo Bills wide receiver spreads holiday cheer

The popular wide receiver surprised over 280 children in attendance at the event that featured gifts, face painting, and more.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It's the most wonderful time of the year, and a Bills player decided to spread some cheer. 

M&T Bank joined forces with Stefon Diggs to host a fun event for local Buffalo families at the Northland Workforce Training Center. 

The popular wide receiver surprised over 280 children in attendance at the event that featured gifts, face painting, and more. 

At the event and in the spirit of giving families were given gift cards to help parents with holiday expenses along with new toys that were donated by Mattel.

M&T Bank first launched the holiday event with Diggs in 2022 as a way to make a difference in the community and create authentic connections with fans.

The families invited to attend were selected by several nonprofit organizations and community partners serving the East Side of Buffalo or supporting single-parent households which are both two communities that Diggs is passionate about uplifting.

A surprise visit from M&T Bank collaborative partner and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs and the Big Man himself (🎅) spent time with children and their families, making for an unforgettable evening. Thank you to our community partners and the Northland Workforce Training Center for making this celebration possible!
