Totally Buffalo Cares lives up to its name
Cataract Elementary School made a new friend in Totally Buffalo Cares last fall. Totally Buffalo Cares is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local families in need. On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, this generous agency donated dozens of items to keep our students warm outside this winter.
Totally Buffalo Cares raised $1,000 for the Cataract Closet in a very Buffalo way – a football pool! With the money they raised, this generous group purchased joggers, leggings, hoodies, and several pairs of sneakers for our students. After seeing our clothing closet and meeting our remarkable students, the founders of Totally Buffalo Cares wanted to do more. And that meant – more football! The organization facilitated several weeks of football pools to raise thousands of dollars for the Niagara Falls City School District (NFCSD). EVERY student at Kalfas, Hyde Park, Abate, and Cataract was visited by Santa and Totally Buffalo Cares volunteers during the school day and received a hat, gloves, a scarf, a gift/toy, and a healthy snack. We believe approximately 2,400 students were reached through this effort.
Thank you, Totally Buffalo Cares!
