Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for visiting the 2018 UB Heals crowdfunding campaign site. This campaign has completed but you're in luck, the 2019 UB Heals campaign is underway. Go to the following link to check out what we're up to now!
Hello everyone!
We want to thank all of you that have contributed to our crowdfunding campaign up to this point- we have been overwhelmed with the outpouring of support we have received, and we have well surpassed our initial goal for this campaign! All the money we have raised will now be able to be spent directly on helping improve the lives of our homeless friends and neighbors here in Buffalo.
We wanted to make you all aware of an event taking place next Friday, October 26th! We have recently partnered with Fred Jackson, former Buffalo Bill, and (CODES) Socks, LLC to help support UB HEALS. Fred is launching a line of socks titled "FJ22" and the sales will benefit UB HEALS!
To celebrate the beginning of this partnership, Fred and (CODES) Socks are hosting a launch party next Friday, October 26th from 6:30-9:30 PM at Soho Buffalo. The event is open to the public, and as supporters of UB HEALS, we would love for you to join us at the event! The cost of the ticket includes food, an open bar, a raffle ticket, and a "swag bag!"
See the attached flyer for details, and email ubheals@gmail.com with any questions!
Thank you again for your continued support of UB HEALS!
Sincerely,
The UB HEALS Executive Board
