Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Josh Allen has made history again, this time off the field, becoming the first brand ambassador to receive an ownership stake in New Era. Josh has also added another title alongside "MVP" to his name, being named New Era's first ever "Director of Billustration." Josh will wear 9 different New Era caps customized by patients at Oishei Children's Hospital during his arrival to the stadium this season. Those hats will then be auctioned with all proceeds benefiting the Patricia Allen Fund.

Visit Buffalo Niagara has been reaccredited by one of the world's largest tourism groups, Destination International. Visit Buffalo Niagara is one of more than 200 similar groups to receive the accreditation.

It was a successful year of fundraising for Canisius University. The school raised $14.3 million from alumni, family and friends of the university last school year.
