After seeing the story WKBW did last month about how Packers fan Lynn Cavey donated a kidney after meeting Bills fan Georgina Provenzano in a Facebook group, Delaware North reached out to anchor Katie Morse. The company operates concessions at both Highmark Stadium and Lambeau Field, and leaders wanted to reunite the woman to thank Lynn for her gift, and Georgina for sharing her story.

"Lynn - we want to offer you a paid trip for you to come to Buffalo and host you in our suite, and additionally Lynn we'd like to thank you and offer you a game in one of our suites at Lambeau field."
