Luvbills Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Just got this email....Please let's all rally around this family Hello all, Not long ago we learned that Sally Kabel, 9-month old daughter of NYCBBB Founder Matt Kabel, was diagnosed with leukemia. Matt and Nicole set up a few ways to keep track of Sally's progress in her fight: https://www.facebook...etSallySunshine http://www.sweetsallysunshine.com/ For now, they need love and good thoughts. Please help us in letting the Kabels know that the NYCBBB family will give them the support they need now and down the road. Like, follow, comment, visit the links above. We will keep you posted on other ways to help as they are established. Thank you very much. We'll be back in touch very soon with updates on the upcoming season, and hope you're enjoying your summer. Matt "praying for Sally every day" Soreco Even if not a member of the NYCBB--please go show your Bills spirit and support.

BuffaloBill Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Very sad story and hope the family finds some sense of peace in the situation as they work through the challenges in front of them. Prayers go out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 This is how I know the Bills don't watch their fans... This could be a good PR event for them and just make this guy feel a whole lot better for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 This is how I know the Bills don't watch their fans... This could be a good PR event for them and just make this guy feel a whole lot better for the weekend. Almost unbelievably, Gretchen Geitter who is the Bills VP of Community Relations is not on LinkedIn. I tried contacting her. Pretty much par for the course. I'll link the story to the Bills FB page. Maybe someone over there is awake. Sent a message to whoever administers the Bills FB page. (administrates?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks all, Scott Berchtold reached out a couple weeks ago when we were first in the hospital and sent Sally a Bills bear and autographed EJ Manuel photos to my sons. Since then we went through different diagnosis, at one point thinking it was a fluke virus and she was fine, but confirmed Leukemia last week. Not sure if Bills are aware of latest, most weren't as things changed so much so quickly. But they were one of the first responders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGun12TD Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I've been a NYCBB for a long time and Matt and the group that runs it are great guys! True Bills and Buffalo supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlHowardman Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The Buffalo Bills as an organization need to expand in the New York City market. I travel there (from home in Syracuse) and I meet a lot of people who won't follow the Jets or Giants because they moved to New Jersey. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the Buffalo Bills would find a gold mine of fans in the metro New York City area, except NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I sent a note to my ticket manager with a link to the website and asked if there was a contact person for something like this, hopefully I will hear back from her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlHowardman Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'd like to see the Buffalo Bills play the New York Jets at Yankee Stadium. The Bills will be the home team - the Jets the away team. I guarantee if that happened you would see mostly Bills fans from the NYC area at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 All the best to you, Sally and your family, Matt. I remember you from McFadden's, even if you don't remember me. There is a whole world of people pulling for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 This is how I know the Bills don't watch their fans... This could be a good PR event for them and just make this guy feel a whole lot better for the weekend. Actually, OBD is very much in tune with NYCBB. Matt noted above, as well. There is at least one high profile Bills event at McFaddens every offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
