2020 Community Day Recap O
n Aug. 19, nearly 800 sports bars participated in Community Day to raise funds for the BWW® Foundation in partnership with local Boys & Girls Clubs. This year’s program raised more than $400,000 and will support the ALL STARS youth sports program at many local Boys & Girls Clubs. One highlight of this year’s campaign was the partnership with four professional athletes who have done meaningful work with Boys & Girls Clubs. These athletes are Rodney Hood of the Portland Trailblazers of the NBA, former NFL wide receiver Victor Cruz, Jordan Bell of the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA and K’Lavon Chaisson of the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars. Each athlete posted a #WayBackWednesday photo of themselves as a child athlete, an Instagram story telling their followers about Community Day and a call to action to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings® on Aug. 19. Thank you to those who participated in Community Day
