Team Up For Kids

We have a passion for sports and we believe there is a champion in every child. It’s the core of our vision for community giving.

Team Up For Kids

THERE IS A CHAMPION IN EVERY CHILD. WE ARE COMMITTED TO HELPING BUILD COMMUNITIES WHERE ALL KIDS CAN THRIVE, COMPETE AND BELONG TO A TEAM.

Playing sports is about igniting a passion, belonging to a team, responsibility, working together to accomplish a common goal and building self-esteem through a great play. It’s about celebrating a victory with the team, and also about displaying good sportsmanship after a heartbreaking defeat. We believe every child should have the opportunity to learn the life lessons that are experienced through participating in youth sports. To build the skills that will help them thrive and compete in life. That’s why we’re committed to helping all kids have the opportunity to play on a team.

Our commitment to helping make our communities a better place to live, work and grow has been a part of who we are for the past 30 years. Since our first restaurants opened in Ohio, we’ve supported local community and school sports teams. Over the years, Buffalo Wild Wings, our franchisees and our Guests have given millions of dollars to local teams, local community and school organizations and to supporting those in need.

Give a little good Taste a lot of great

For every bottle of our award-winning sauce or signature seasoning you buy, we’ll donate 50¢ to Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Spruce up your spice drawer, spice up your condiments or give the perfect gift, all while helping a good cause. Our goal is to give $1 million by 2015, but we can’t do it without your help. Order your sauce or seasoning today and help us build a better tomorrow.

Buffalo Wild Wings is proud to announce our new partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). Together, we can help fulfill our vision to Team Up for Kids and bring sports into the lives of kids who need it most. We share a commitment to helping kids build great futures through experiencing healthy lifestyle choices like participating in team sports.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America believes that living a healthy, active lifestyle helps young people develop strong character and build social competency skills. Through our $600,000 commitment in 2013, BGCA will enhance and create opportunities for 1,600 flag or tackle football teams and cheerleading programs across the country. The partnership will also include education and training programs for 5,000 adult Club staff and volunteers to help emphasize the positive life lessons learned through team sports.

We expect to raise more than $1 million over the next two years through donations from sauce and seasoning bottle sales and fundraising activities in our restaurants. Buffalo Wild Wings' goal is to continue to expand the team sports programs at Boys & Girls Clubs across the country to help build strong character, fitness and life skills.

Eat Wings, Raise Funds.

We recognize that needs can vary greatly from one community to another. That’s why we’ve created a program that allows each of our restaurants to help raise funds for organizations in their local community. With our Eat Wings, Raise Funds. program, when you dine, we donate. Since its inception, Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants have donated more than $1 million to local organizations that assist youth and families in need, military families and disaster relief efforts.

Giving In Our Communities

We're striving to support Boys & Girls Clubs in communities across the country. At our inaugural Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in Tempe, Arizona, we took the opportunity to bring a little fun into the lives of kids at Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley. We had the honor of bringing 400 kids and their families to the game, and our mascot, Blazin' Bill, visited clubs leading up to the game along with giant jerseys from TCU and Michigan State.

Our Tempe area restaurants supported their local Boys & Girls Clubs with a donation of nearly $7,000 from our Eat Wings, Raise Funds™ events in our restaurants on game day. And, during the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl game, the lucky winner of the half-time competition was rewarded with a $10,000 donation in his honor to his home-town Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Fort Worth.
