On Sunday, December 22, 2013 three young Buffalonians, Alexandra Farrington, Scott Michaels, and Sean Heidinger, will be hosting an event at The Hotel @ The Lafayette with the intention of raising funds for Journey’s End Refugee Services.
It’s all part of the Queen City Secret Santa initiative that was started to help organizations in need during the holiday season. With a number of different refugee-driven services in Buffalo, each specializing on different aspects of the acclimation process, Journey’s End is an organization that helps newcomers with interpreting, employment and housing, among other imperative needs.
The Queen City Secret Santa event is designed to be as much fun as helpful. It’s a chance to get together with friends over the holidays, spread Christmas joy, and feel good about giving back to the community.
WHAT: Join Western New Yorkers as they gather together for Queen City Secret Santa, a local event to celebrate the holiday season by making new friends, giving thoughtful gifts, and aiding local charity Journey’s End Refugee Services in the process.
WHO: Queen City Secret Santa is the brainchild of three young Buffalonians Alexandra Farrington, Scott Michaels, and Sean Heidinger inspired by their love of Christmas, the giving season, community outreach, and the city of Buffalo.
WHEN: Sunday December 22nd 7:00 PM | Time: Promptly 7PM
WHERE: Pan American Grill & Brewery at the Hotel at the Lafayette 391 Washington Street Buffalo NY 14223
WHY: The mission of Queen City Secret Santa is : “The wonderful thing about the holidays is they remind us what is important: seeing old friends and making new ones, charity, gift giving and receiving; the revelry of it all. No matter the time of year, in Buffalo these values are always on our minds, but especially poignant now.”
