Bengala, Buffalo State University’s annual foundation scholarship gala, returns Saturday, April 5, offering not only a night of fun and celebration but also the opportunity to make a difference by providing current students with crucial financial support.
Hosted by Interim President Bonita R. Durand, Ph.D., and Jim Finnerty, vice president for institutional advancement and external relations, Bengala will run from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. in E. H. Butler Library (which will be closed April 4–5 for preparations), site of the first Bengala 27 years ago. The gala will once again be cocktail party style, which means that while there are no reserved tables, there will be two bars, multiple food stations, and lots of excitement.
This year’s theme, “Building a Promising Future,” devised by event co-chairs Judy L. Elliott, ’82, and Tracy A. Sawicki, ’84, invites attendees to learn about current students’ individual journeys.
