Lackawanna Middle School
With the help of the Birthday Squad of Buffalo, we are able to bring smiles to students on their birthday. With their support and generosity, all Lackawanna Middle School students receive a gift for their birthday. They can select a gift from the Harbor Room birthday bin. And students can be shining stars by wearing a LMS birthday sash. Once a month, the Harbor Room is transformed into a birthday celebration room, recognizing all birthdays that month. The Birthday Squad of Buffalo also teamed up with For Goodness Cakes, providing students with cupcakes for the celebration. For many students, this will be their only birthday celebration. Teachers stop in, new friendships have been formed, it truly brings so much happiness to our students and staff.

Cornerstone
“The Birthday Squad of Buffalo is a huge blessing to our women and children at Cornerstone Manor! Each month, they sponsor our children on their birthday, bringing joy to their special day! This is a gift not only to the child, but to the mother as well! Our ladies do not have to worry about how to fit a gift into their limited budget and instead can just focus on loving their kiddo. This is what the Birthday Squad of Buffalo provides to our residents, joy to the children and relief to the women that call Cornerstone Manor their home.”

Tonawanda Middle School
“This is our first year celebrating our Tonawanda Middle School students' birthdays with The Birthday Squad of Buffalo, and what a tremendous joy it has been. The kids get so excited when we let them pick out their special gift! The Birthday Squad also encouraged us to team up with For Goodness Cakes, where anonymous volunteers prepare special cupcakes and deliver them at no cost for our students. We do monthly celebrations here to celebrate all the kids who have birthdays in each month. They pick out a gift, proudly wear a Birthday sticker and enjoy a yummy treat! It truly is so amazing to see how happy all of these efforts make our students. It is all so greatly appreciated. .”
