Additionally, we would implement Cabaret nights for people to showcase their musical abilities, as well as free one-on-one music lessons for people who are new to music at our university, music trivia nights, sheet music and old music book donations to elementary schools. In addition to our ideas concerning music, our club would host events for our members to make holiday cards for people in nursing homes and shelters, and first aid kits for people in shelters.

Lending A Paw

Not everyone can foster a dog, especially us who are undergraduates. However, many want to help dogs in need in any way they can. Buddy's Second Chance Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters to have them come to a foster home here in Buffalo. From Buffalo, these dogs need permanent homes so Buddy's offers events and activities for these foster pups. However, these foster parents have lives of their own and cannot make it to every event due to outside obligations. That is where we would come in. As a member of this organization, we would help set up and break down events as well as bring foster dogs from their foster homes to the even if their foster parent was not available to take them. We would also raise awareness for the program and fundraise where we can, and every cent would go towards Buddies. This would allow more people to find out about Buddies and have more fosters a part of the program and with the college students' help, it would help pups find a permanent and loving home. Events help the pups get adopted. Save a dog today one event at a time!
