BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Before each home game this season, Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen is wearing a New Era cap customized by a patient at Oishei Children's Hospital, and this week, 12-year-old Charlie Roessler is the designer.
"It was pretty exciting," Charlie said. "I really enjoyed making it, and I think that it's really special."
He included Allen's number 17 and "MVP" in his design. After he wears the cap, Josh Allen will autograph it, and it will be auctioned off online, with 100% of the proceeds going toward the Patricia Allen Fund at Oishei.

About a year ago, Charlie was diagnosed with a bone cancer called osteosarcoma. He recently wrapped up chemotherapy and continues radiation. His more recent scan was clear.
Heather, his mom, said Charlie is "feeling good" and is "happy to be a kid again."
Heather and his grandmother, Toni, shared gratitude to not only the staff at Oishei Children's Hospital and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center but also everyone in Western New York who has helped the family through this time.
You can go to New Era Cap's website to place a bid or learn more. The auction will begin Sunday afternoon and go until Tuesday at 8 p.m.
The previous caps have raised tens of thousands of dollars.
