A Bills Fan Launches $250,000 Charity Fund Honoring Josh Allen and Bosa After Stellar Season Start

Katie Sturino Talks About Body Image Work in Media (Exclusive)

Buffalo, NY – September 15, 2025

In a move that blends sports passion with philanthropy, entrepreneur and author Katie Sturino, founder of Megababe, has announced the creation of a new charitable initiative — the Allen & Bosa Performance Fund.

The fund, named after Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and star pass rusher Bosa, was launched as a symbolic “reward” for the two players’ electrifying performances in the opening weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Instead of cash bonuses, Sturino’s project will direct donations to children’s hospitals and youth empowerment programs each time a player delivers a standout game.

“In sports as in life, excellence deserves to ripple outward into something bigger,” Sturino said in her announcement. “Josh Allen’s grit and Bosa’s dominance inspired me — and I wanted that inspiration to fuel real impact in the community.”

Bills fans have already embraced the concept. One supporter outside Highmark Stadium put it bluntly: “We celebrate wins every Sunday. Now we can celebrate knowing those wins are changing lives.”

Even Bosa himself expressed gratitude for the unexpected initiative:
“I think Josh Allen’s nose yesterday probably hurt, but it was worth it for what we accomplished. And thank you to her for helping the kids — the future of Buffalo. The spirit of the Bills will flow through every vein.”

The fund’s first wave of donations will be directed to Buffalo’s Oishei Children’s Hospital — a nod to Allen’s long-standing connection with the Patricia Allen Fund — and a California-based youth education nonprofit tied to Bosa’s community roots.

Whether this becomes a one-time gesture or a lasting tradition, the Allen & Bosa Performance Fund marks an imaginative step in how sports fandom, entrepreneurship, and social good can intersect. If the early buzz is any indication, Sturino may have set the stage for a new era where touchdowns and sacks echo far beyond the stadium.

Former Second-round Pick Visited Buffalo Bills Immediately After Being Released by 49ers
When the San Francisco 49ers cut ties with Drake Jackson, it looked like the cruel end to a once-bright career. A second-round pick out of USC, a pass rusher who once opened a season with three sacks in a single game, suddenly reduced to an injury file and a failed physical. But tomorrow, Jackson walks into One Bills Drive with something more dangerous than doubt — belief that his story isn’t finished. Jackson’s promise was real. In 2023, he ripped through Pittsburgh’s offensive line in Week 1 and finished the day with three sacks, a performance that felt like a star being born. But then came the patellar tendon tear — a career-killer in NFL circles.By May 9, 2025, the 49ers made their decision: waived with failed physical designation. Twenty-three games, six sacks, one interception. That was the end in San Francisco. The team turned to Yetur Gross-Matos and rookie Mykel Williams, leaving Jackson as another casualty of their 2022 draft class. Now just 24, Jackson insists he’s fully healed. His rehab is complete, his burst returning, his hunger never gone. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, his comeback tour includes the Jets, Commanders, and yes — the Buffalo Bills. For a Bills team that’s been searching for fresh legs on the edge and depth behind Gregory Rousseau and Von Miller, Jackson’s timing may be perfect. For Buffalo, it’s a look. For Jackson, it’s survival. 49ers fans are already flooding X with messages of regret: “He had the tools.” “Still rooting for you.” But the wider league knows the truth: patellar tendon injuries can bury careers. Mike McGlinchey’s long recovery remains the warning. Tomorrow, as Jackson steps into the Bills’ facility, he isn’t just chasing a roster spot. He’s chasing redemption. If he flashes the burst that once terrorized quarterbacks, Buffalo could hand him a second life. If he falters, his name may drift into the long list of forgotten draft picks. But for now, Orchard Park offers something priceless: a door still open. And for Drake Jackson, sometimes that’s all a player needs to turn heartbreak into rebirth.
