In 2010, Andy, along with fellow teammate Eric Wood, showed support for a local Playground Unveiling in Niagara Falls, NY.  Through the Buffalo Bills Youth Foundation, the school was granted a monetary donation for the playground to be built and the day after spring break the students were surprised to find their new playground completely built!  Andy was there to help cut the ceremonial ribbon as well as sign autographs and take pictures with the students.

Andy also showed his support for the Play 60 Movement by visiting Armor Elementary in Hamburg, NY which was named the “Play 60 Super School” through the Back to Football Friday Program.  Andy participated in the Ultimate Physical Education Class and presented the $10,000 grant to the school so they can continue their health and wellness initiatives.
