Sabres 'Green Team' hosts 'Shredding Day'

The Buffalo Sabres "Green Team," in conjunction with First Niagara Bank and Shred-it, will be teaming up to host "Shredding Day" on Saturday, March 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at First Niagara Bank in Snyder (4467 Main St.).

With paper-based identity theft up 46 percent from last year, "Shredding Day" has been planned as a way to help Sabres fans protect themselves from identity theft. Fans who bring personal documents to be shredded will receive a coupon for 25 percent off a purchase at the Sabres Store in First Niagara Center. All of the paper shredded at the event will be recycled.

Shred-it is a premiere on-site document and media destruction company, which provides businesses with a secure destruction procedure. Shred-it uses proprietary technology to mitigate risk from all forms of identity theft and provides a high level of customer service while securing all of the consumer's confidential information. Shred-it is committed to preserving the environment - and the security of one's business.

The Buffalo Sabres are dedicated to the sustainability of the environment in Western New York and Southern Ontario through the "Blue & Gold Make Green Initiative." The organization is committed to creating programming to help its fans reduce environmental footprints and, at the same time, educate Sabres fans on conservation issues, teaching fans how to be greener, and directing them to additional resources where they can learn more about environmental issues.

The "Green Team" program, presented by National Fuel, is supported by NOCO and Modern Recycling.
