FAIRPORT, N.Y. — Bills safety Damar Hamlin‘s survival story has justifiably inspired so many to give back in all kinds of ways that go way beyond Buffalo.

Hamlin's first question to doctors when coming out of a medically induced coma after his cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game in Cincinnati, has inspired and touched people everywhere. "Did We Win?" is now printed on a t-shirt in a fundraiser in honor of Hamlin.

“It seems to be popular with people,” said Rob Burch, co-founder of the Fairport Music Festival. “They really like it. And what looked like it was going to be a tragedy that happened on Monday night I think everybody was blown away by that. And then to find out the steps that occurred after it. A miracle or major miracle, however you want, and then he recovered quickly. And him coming out with the saying, I think just blew people away."
