The impact of the Buffalo Sabres and their players extends far beyond the ice and into our community.  Throughout the Sabres organization, there is a sincere and strong commitment to giving back to Western New York to help those who are less fortunate.

The Sabres Care program highlights the many different ways that the Buffalo Sabres organization and players support the local community.  From holding food and clothing drives, to visiting with sick children at area hospitals, the Buffalo Sabres are proud to give back to the community that has loyally supported the organization for almost 40 years.

Many Sabres players are involved with organizations that serve our community.  We encourage you to take the time to learn more about these important community assets or to consider supporting one or more of the following groups:
