When Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson left the game in the second half with a concussion, Bills fans immediately started searching for his charity.

Once it was found, Bills fans posted links on Reddit and Twitter to show their support for Jackson.

Here’s Lamar Jackson’s favorite charity from r/buffalobills

"It started around 11:30 last night, and our donation box just started flooding with donations from Bills fans for Lamar. It's just been overwhelming -- in the best possible way," said Nikki Grizzle of Blessings in a Backpack, whose mission is to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry.

According to the nonprofit, more than 11,000 fans donated nearly $300,000 in 24 hours.
