This week’s offseason #CMVP is community role model, Ray Davis. In honor of National Foster Care Month earlier this year, the @buffalobills RB and his Beat the Odds Foundation invited foster kids and their guardians in Buffalo to the Kaleida Health Performance Center for a tour of the Bills' practice facility. Through a partnership with Child & Family Services of Buffalo, Davis shared his own journey and provided them with a behind-the-scenes look into a day in the life of an NFL player. “There were times growing up when I was homeless, and I thank God for the opportunities football has given me. My Beat the Odds Foundation focuses on helping kids facing similar challenges. My favorite part about today was meeting these kids and their guardians.”

Today our hearts are broken. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nic’s family, friends, teammates and everyone who knew and loved him. This is a tremendous loss for our program and university community. We will continue to support one another and honor his memory.
