Beginning on
March 20, several non-profit organizations on the West Side will be
participating in United Way of Buffalo Erie County’s second annual
"Spring It On" online fundraiser campaign.
The fundraiser will go on for a 24-hour period, starting at 8 a.m. This event encourages community members to go online and donate money to different nonprofit organizations in the Western New York area.
"Our mission really is to connect people, resources, and services so it was just a natural fit for us to facilitate this kind of fundraising for agencies," Director of Brand Management Patty Olender said.
This year over 200 agencies have signed up. The West Side non-profit organizations that will partake in this event include West Side Community Services, Westside Ministries, Bison Children’s Scholarship Fund, The Belle Center, Friends of Night People, Albright Knox, and the Junior League of Buffalo.
