Buffalo News Kids Day
2011 marked the 29th year that The Buffalo News sponsored the annual Buffalo News Kids day to benefit the annual Telethon. Through 2011, this very important fund raiser has raised over $3.9 million dollars. Volunteers from all over Western New York rise early in the morning in April and sell the special edition for $1.00. Variety thanks everyone at The Buffalo News, all the volunteers and everyone who bought that special edition.
Joseph Popiolkowski, Digital Media Producer for the Buffalo News put together two fantastic video pieces for Kids Day. Click on the following links to take a look at them:
