Do Good, Win Big: Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and Buffalo Bills Foundation launch community raffle to combat food insecurity

Win Exclusive Bills Experiences While Supporting Neighbors in Need This Holiday Season

Buffalo, NY (December 1, 2025) — Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Buffalo Bills Foundation today announced a community-wide raffle to benefit FeedMore WNY, Foodlink, and the Regional Food Bank. This initiative underscores both organizations' longstanding commitment to reducing food insecurity in Western New York.

The raffle complements Highmark’s new "(un)Hungry" campaign, which addresses holiday season food insecurity by providing critical support to 15 food partners across Highmark's four-state service area, including FeedMore WNY, Foodlink and the Regional Food Bank.

Open to the entire community, the raffle offers an incredible array of exclusive Buffalo Bills experiences and signed memorabilia as the team closes out its farewell season at the current Highmark Stadium.  

“Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield is deeply committed to enhancing the well-being of the communities we serve, and our partnership with the Buffalo Bills allows us to amplify that commitment in meaningful ways,” said Jessica Cox, president, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield. “Highmark’s (un)Hungry campaign is centered on the belief that, 'It takes a neighborhood to feed a neighborhood,' and through this partnership, we are bringing together the collective spirit of our community to address a critical need that impacts many, here in our hometown.”

From December 1 until 12:00 p.m. EST on December 30, raffle tickets can be purchased at BillsFoundation.org.

Prizes include:

  • Four tickets to a Week 18 game at Highmark Stadium
  • Pre-game on-field passes for four people
  • Tunnel experience for four people
  • Autographed Buffalo Bills items (jersey, helmet, football)

Raffle proceeds will directly ensure that families in Western New York have food on their tables this holiday season. Ticket options are: 5 tickets for $10; 40 tickets for $25; or 125 tickets for $50.
