Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - "Give 716" is back for a second year in Western New York, organized by the Buffalo Bills and Sabres Foundations.
The donation drive opened at 7:16 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 14. It runs through 7:16 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 16 (aka "716 Day"). You can make donations HERE Give716.org.
More than 500 local charities are participating in this year's Give 716 event.
You have the option to have your gift split equally among all the participating charities, or you can specifically pick and choose which organization
your money goes to.
There are a number of incentives to donate during Give 716, including donation matching periods and giveaways such assigned Josh Allen jerseys, signed Rick Jeanneret banners, Give 716 T-shirts and more.
Here is the event schedule for Friday, July 15:

This year's sponsors include Delaware North, KeyBank, Dave and Adam's Card World, Wegmans, Highmark, M&T Bank – East Buffalo, and the Bills and Sabres foundations.
Among the incentives, starting at 5 p.m. ET on Friday, July 15, the first 500 donors of $117.60 or more will receive an autographed Rick Jeanneret banner made by Oxford Pennant.
"I signed each one of them," Jeanneret said on WBEN Friday morning. "I know how popular they were on RJ night. There were 10,000 available, and people are still asking me for one. My stash is almost gone completely."
The banners for the "Give 716" initiative are a little different from the ones given away at the arena back on April 1.
"Oxford Pennant did these banners, and they're pretty attractive," added Jeanneret.
Last year, over $1.1 million was raised during the inaugural event.
