I started a Charitable activity in Buffalo NY about 25 years ago .
It was in cooperation with the local arm of The Salvation Army and called " The Gift of Warmth ".
I was working for a Bank at the time . We collected winter hats , gloves ,mittens and scarves for needy children . As the Bank I worked for expanded rapidly , I introduced the program into each of our new markets .
Eventually we expanded into Baltimore and the wife of the owner of the Ravens became involved so much so that today it has become a part of " NFL Charities ".
At one home game each year in cold weather NFL cities the Team collects kids mittens etc from the fans on their way into the stadium .
