Bills cornerstone OT and his charity bring a major twist this year - free tickets for all the homeless
Dion Dawkins isn’t just a cornerstone offensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills – he’s also one of the city’s biggest hearts. For years, the Dion’s Dreamers Cornhole Charity Event has been a staple in Buffalo, bringing fans, families, and the community together for fun, games, and fundraising. But this year, Dawkins is changing the playbook in a way that hits even deeper.
For the first time since its inception, Dawkins has decided to make the event completely free for all homeless individuals – especially those who have never received support from his Dion’s Dreamers foundation before. Instead of selling tickets to fans as in previous years, he’s opening the doors to those often left behind.
Not only will participants enjoy the games and the uplifting atmosphere, but they’ll also be treated to full meals and walk away with gifts. Dawkins has even arranged for cash and food packages to be distributed directly, ensuring that every attendee leaves with something tangible and meaningful.
Speaking about the change, Dawkins shared: “This year I wanted to make a difference and create fairness for everyone. Everything I do is meant to bring the best to the community, to spread the Bills Mafia spirit across the city. No matter who you are, you deserve to live in that spirit of Bills Mafia.”
The decision has drawn wide praise from fans and media alike. It’s another reminder that for Dawkins, playing for Buffalo isn’t just about protecting Josh Allen on Sundays – it’s about protecting the community he proudly calls home.
This year’s event may look different, but it’s that difference that makes Dion’s Dreamers stronger than ever. To Bills Mafia, Dion Dawkins isn’t just the anchor of the offensive line – he’s the anchor of compassion, opening his arms to every life in Buffalo that needs it most.
