Bills Mafia honors Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass with another donation blitz

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) – Bills Mafia, doing what they do best: recognizing important moments in franchise history through donations to charities.

This time, it’s Ten Lives Club, an animal shelter in Western New York. And the historic moment was a 61-yard field goal by Tyler Bass in Sunday’s win over the Miami Dolphins, which set a new franchise record.

Ten Lives Club said it started seeing an influx of donations essentially right after Bass made the kick.

It happened in the final seconds of Sunday’s game, when the Bills and Dolphins were tied at 27. The ball went over the uprights with five seconds left in the fourth quarter, setting up Buffalo for a 30-27 victory over their rival of the AFC East. .

“So far $2,000 has been donated through the Ten Lives Club website and Facebook in various amounts to support Tyler Bass,” the shelter said in a statement to 7 News Sunday night.

He said many fans are donating $61, a nod to Bass’ 61-yard kick.

UPDATE: As of Monday morning, more than $13,000 has been donated to the Ten Lives Club.

But this isn’t the first time Bills fans have launched a donation drive for the shelter in Bass’ honor.

The Bills kicker missed a game-tying 44-yard field goal with less than two minutes remaining in last year’s AFC Divisional Playoffs. Buffalo ultimately fell to Kansas City 27-24.

In the days after that loss, Ten Lives Club said Bills Mafia showed their support for Bass by donating more than $400,000 to the shelter.

In May, the club said it would build the “Tyler Bass Adoption Center” after receiving all donations from the community.

7 News spoke with Ten Lives Club PR Manager Kimberly LaRussa when donations surpassed $270,000 in January 2024. She said in part: “We are all speechless at Ten Lives Club and can’t believe this is happening “. You can see our previous report below. and read more here.
