Buffalo Jill of The Week Rebecca

Amanda F (2001-03), Rebecca, Shannon, and Jenn (1997-2004)

This week, we take a look at Rebecca as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. In her rookie year on the squad, she's spending her time as an ambassador but has also put in a little bit of work as a dancer despite not even tried out for it. At the Uniform Unveiling, the Jills Ambassadors were given the opportunity to join the dancers for one of the performances and Rebecca was the only one who took that opportunity. Plus she was also one of the ambassadors who joined the dancers and Jills alumni for the HUGE pregame performance at the Eagles game. When not performing her duties as a Jill, she's one of Buffalo's 2 sexiest RN's (the other being Noelle of the Bandettes of course) and working on furthering her nursing education with the goal of working on helping deliver babies. Even that isn't enough though as she's turning into a 1-woman band. She loves learning to play instruments and is proficient with 4 of them and is currently learning to play the guitar. If the Jills start featuring some singers at any events in the future like they did a few times in 2006 with Aimee and Keiyonna, they'll have some musical accompaniment this time around. The trick is talking Murissa into singing before an audience...lol.

Pics from the 2011 BvB Kickoff Party and Bachelorette Auction

The newly re-designed SoHo Burger Bar on Chippewa played host to the 3rd Annual Blondes Vs Brunettes Kickoff party getting everyone ready for the upcoming game being played September 10th at Sweet Home High School. On hand for part of the evening were a pair of rookie Buffalo Jills. Ambassador Squad members Shannon and Rebecca spent their time there selling 50-50 raffle tickets and posing for photos with a few fans as well as a few Jills alumni. The goal of the BvB organization, which has chapters all over the nation, is to help fund the Alzheimer's Association working to find a cure for the disease. As in past years, the rosters have plenty of women who used to spend Sundays cheering on the Bills on the sidelines at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Some of them who've signed up are, unfortunately, going to be unable to play this year due to various reasons but with the larger rosters this year of around 50 as opposed to 30 will help make up for their absence.

There were a pair of added surprises as first I saw 2006 Jills alumnus Christina B there for the event as well as another Jills alumnus as a player I was unaware of, bringing the total number of Jills alumni to 9 for this year. Blondes co-captain and Jills and Bandettes alumnus introduced me to Desiree, who only spent the summer of 2005 with the Jills and will be suiting up for the blondes in September. Even after such a short time on the squad, she's still thought of as an alumnus after having made the squad that year and appearing at that year's Uniform Unveiling Ceremony when the Bills showed off their Throwback uniforms at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Something new this year was the Bachelorette Auction in which several of the BvB players were auctioned off as dates to the highest bidders. 2nd year BvB player and longtime Buffalo Jills alumnus Jenn was one of those players who brought in about $2000 collectively for the BvB Organization. Jenn's date package included, among other things, a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls. Besides the fact that the lucky winner got a date with Jenn, the package was valued at over $1000.
