Justin Humphrey has served the Saginaw Public School District since 2012 and is currently the Lead Custodian at Kempton Elementary School. Many in our community also know Justin from his long-time work at Buffalo Wild Wings, where he’s been a familiar, friendly face for years.
Justin is now facing a cancer diagnosis, and our community has an opportunity to support him in a real way.
Tuesday, February 17, 2026, participating Buffalo Wild Wings and Buffalo Wild Wings GO locations across the region will donate 10% of all-day sales to support Justin as he undergoes treatment.
📍 Participating locations include:
Bay City | Birch Run | Midland | Mt. Pleasant | Saginaw | Saginaw GO
