Students honored for hosting basketball fundraiser to support local dog shelter
Submitted by the Office of New York State Sen. Rob Ortt
New York State Sen. Rob Ortt presented Newfane High School Senior Nathan Snow with a Senate certificate, recognizing his efforts, along with classmate Brianna Michalak (who couldn’t attend due to a track meet) in recognition of the “Hoops n Hounds” fundraiser they organized in support of Buddy’s Second Chance Rescue.
“I applaud the efforts by Nathan, Brianna and everyone involved in putting together this wonderful, basketball-based event to support a group whose mission is caring for and finding fitting homes for foster dogs,” Ortt said. “I’d also like to thank the folks at Newfane High School for hosting the event, and to the people of Newfane who came out to support man’s best friend.”
In addition to monetary donations, the students also collected treats, toys, food and beds for the foster dogs. All proceeds of the April 21 fundraiser were donated to Buddy’s Second Chance Rescue, a nonprofit organization that finds forever homes for homeless, abused and neglected shelter dogs.
