Front Line Healthcare Ticket Giveaway
In January of 2021, Batavia Downs Gaming & Hotel asked for the public to nominate six frontline healthcare workers to be awarded Buffalo Bills tickets. This was an effort to recognize & show appreciation to the heroes who cared for their community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As a bonus, they also each received a Bills knit hat & an autographed Thurman Thomas jersey at the game.
