Buffalo Wild Wings Foundation Gives $11,500 to ABLE Games

ABLE says the money will help them expand to more states outside the Midwest.

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – A big donation is set to help many children with disabilities compete in athletics.

The LaHaise family owns 11 Buffalo Wild Wings locations in North and South Dakota and Minnesota, and every October they focus on fundraising efforts for local organizations.

That allowed them to present the ABLE Games with a check for 11,500 dollars.

They say this donation will allow them to continue expanding throughout the country – including the development of ABLE in School, which offers additional programming for P.E. classes.

“We’re just going to keep growing this thing, and helping as many people as we possibly can, so thank you guys for all the work you do to help us bring this to as many people as we possibly can,” said former NFL player Connor McGovern, who works with ABLE.

In 2024, Buffalo Wild Wings donated $1.9 million to local organizations nationwide.
