THE SABRES FOUNDATION

History

Mission
The Buffalo Sabres Foundation is committed to enhancing the quality of life in the Western New York region. In that process, the Buffalo Sabres Foundation strives to assist worthwhile organizations that make this region a better place to live and work.

The Buffalo Sabres Foundation has chosen to make its primary focus to (1) assist youth hockey initiatives, (2) support children’s health and wellness initiatives, specifically those that serve the underprivileged and handicapped, and (3) provide support to non-profit organizations that provide vital services to those in need in our community.

Activities
The Buffalo Sabres Foundation has been involved in a number of fundraising and community activities since 2004, most notably its annual Corporate Challenge Hockey Tournament and its Aces and Blades Gala. Since 2004 the Buffalo Sabres Foundation has raised over $250,000 through these and other activities.

Grants
Since 2004, the Buffalo Sabres Foundation has made numerous grants, totaling over $200,000, to worthwhile western New York organizations.
