BREAKING: Buffalo Sabres Captain Tage Thompson Donates $750,000 to Support Charlie Kirk’s Family
The sports world continues to rally around the devastating loss of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was tragically assassinated during a community event earlier this week. Tributes have poured in from across politics, sports, and entertainment, but the heartfelt donation from Buffalo Sabres captain Tage Thompson has made a significant impact.
Thompson has pledged a generous $750,000 to support Kirk’s wife, Erika, and their two young daughters.
According to sources close to the team, the donation has been divided into two parts:
👉 $375,000 for public murals and floral memorials in Buffalo and Charlotte, honoring Kirk’s life and legacy.
👉 $375,000 placed into a trust fund to ensure the girls’ education and future stability.
In a statement, Thompson said: “This is bigger than hockey. It’s about standing together as a community and supporting a family in need. Erika and her daughters should know they are surrounded by love and support during this heartbreaking time.”
The donation comes as sports teams across the globe prepare to hold moments of silence in Kirk’s memory, with talks underway about establishing a legacy fund to secure his children’s long-term future.
A Sabres teammate privately shared: “Tage has always been a leader on and off the ice. This time, he’s showing us what leadership truly looks like.”
BREAKING: Josh Allen SHUTS DOWN Critics After Historic Win – “We’re Just Getting Started!”
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen continues to make waves in the NFL, with his stellar performance against the Baltimore Ravens earning him major recognition.
Allen was named Week 1 AFC Offensive Player of the Week and also earned a FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week award for his incredible performance. In the Bills' 41-40 victory over the Ravens, Allen threw for 424 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, including 251 passing yards and three scores in a remarkable fourth-quarter comeback. His heroics helped the Bills become the first team in NFL history to win after trailing by 15+ points with only four minutes left in regulation.
“Awards are nice, but they mean nothing without my teammates. We were counted out, but we never quit,” Allen said after the game. “I’m here to win it all, and we’re just getting started. We’re not satisfied until we get that championship.”
Alongside Allen’s heroics, Derrick Henry of the Baltimore Ravens was also named a FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week after rushing for 169 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Despite Henry’s massive performance, Baltimore suffered the first-ever loss in NFL history after scoring at least 40 points and rushing for 253+ yards.
Looking ahead, the Bills are gearing up for a Week 2 matchup with the New York Jets as they aim to improve to 2-0 for the second straight season. With their momentum from this thrilling win, the Bills are feeling confident as they face a Jets team coming off a 34-32 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As the season heats up, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are showing that they are ready for anything—and they’re far from finished. With their eyes set on a championship, this dynamic team is just getting started.
