Bills Mafia takes stylish step towards Tua

In the 24 hours after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was knocked out of Thursday night’s Buffalo Bills game with a concussion, donations poured in to the Tua Foundation. Many of the donations came from Bills fans themselves.

ESPN confirmed to the foundation that as many as 1,000 donations came in after Tagovailoa was injured. ESPN reported that it began sharing information about the foundation and where donations can be sent.

Based on the donors’ addresses, it is believed that a large portion of the 1,000 contributions came from the Western New York Buffalo area.

Tagovailoa founded the Tua Foundation in 2021. According to its website, the foundation is a nonprofit organization “dedicated to supporting youth initiatives, health and wellness, and other charitable causes.”

The foundation has donated more than $108,000 and 25 Microsoft® Surface® laptops to families on Maui affected by wildfires.

Tagovailoa has also become a benefactor to the South Florida community, donating to the Big Brothers, Big Sisters® programs of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. The foundation has also provided funds to Saint Louis School in Honolulu, where Tagovailoa attended high school.

The foundation also funds other charities, such as the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame on Oahu.

Tagovailoa will be evaluated by medical personnel next week. He remains in the concussion protocol. Skylar Thompson is expected to take the starting quarterback position next Sunday when the team travels to Seattle to take on the Seahawks at 4:05 p.m. EDT.
