Thank you to everyone who supported our We Stand For Peace fundraiser at Soho Buffalo. Folks enjoyed an early dose of summer weather while taking in breathtaking rooftop sights to help our newest refugee neighbors settle into the community. We raffled over 50 baskets with a dollar value of $10,000. The event also featured a live DJ, a silent auction, a vendor showcase, food, and beverages.
