Andy Dalton’s game-winning touchdown pass for the Cincinnati Bengals against the Baltimore Ravens secured the Buffalo Bills a playoff spot.

Now Bills fans are giving back to Dalton’s charity foundation to say thank you.

According to Dalton on Twitter, the Andy & Jordan Dalton Foundation has received over 1,000 donations totalling $22,000 in the 24 hours since the Bills clinched their first playoff berth since 1999.

Dalton created the foundation with his wife Jordan shortly after the Bengals drafted him in 2011. Its mission is to “provide support, resources, opportunities & life-changing experiences to seriously ill and physically challenged children & their families,” in the Cincinnati and Fort Worth, Texas, area, according to its website.

It’s nice to see that sports can be turned into goodwill. Great job, Bills fans.
