Thank you for joining us for the
15th annual Building Blocks Breakfast!
About the Event
Join us for a complimentary breakfast at Kleinhans as we share updates on PUSH Buffalo’s latest projects, successes, future plans, and most importantly, the impact of the work. Hear stories from community leaders, partners, and our team about the Sustainability Workforce Training Center, the new PUSH Community Hub, the completion of the West Side Homes Project, and more.
Together, we can create a better, more resilient future!
FAQs
Do I need to register to attend?
Registration is now closed, however walk-ups are more than welcome to join on Oct. 23. We will have a seat for you.
Why should I attend?
Whether you are new to PUSH and this is your first Breakfast, or you’ve been to every single one, there’s a (assigned) seat for you at the table. This special event is an opportunity for us to share what we’ve been up to, give the mic to some powerful voices, and inspire action and hope in everyone who attends.
What can I expect?
A riveting and punctual program, a light, but yummy breakfast, a room filled with people who care about our city and world, and to be asked to make a donation. It is a fundraiser after all! While you have no obligation to make a gift, we do end our program by asking that you consider it.
Can I volunteer at the event?
Absolutely! There are a couple of ways you can support this event as a volunteer: either as a table captain, hosting your own table of guests, or as event support – checking people in, helping to direct people where to park, directing people to their tables, etc. Interested in either? Email our event coordinator Emily Marciniak at giving@pushbuffalo.org.
