Buffalo State College Foundation Scholarship Gala

Buffalo State’s 16th annual Foundation Scholarship Gala raised $260,000, benefiting 200 students in the newly named Muriel A. Howard Honors Program.

The event was held on Saturday, April 20, at the Statler. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the gala directly support student-scholars.

The gala was chaired by Benjamin, ’80, and Mary Ellen Zuffranieri, ’80, and Rock Doyle, ’90. More than 400 guests attended. The Larkin Development Group, LP Ciminelli, M&T Bank, and BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York were this year’s presenting sponsors.

Buffalo State extends a sincere thank-you to the Buffalo State Foundation Inc., the Muriel A. Howard Honors Program, Hospitality and Tourism students, the Buffalo State Jazz Ensemble, faculty and staff members, the gala committee, alumni, friends, volunteers, and business partners for their generous support. Thank you for helping with the success of this year’s gala!
