[CELEBRATION] The Buffalo Brunch has been flying low under the radar for 20 years now. It shouldn’t: In the last eight years alone—since the LGBTQ fundraising and community awareness events has been run by embrace Western New York—the brunch has raised and dispensed $125,000 in grants and scholarships. “All of our scholarships and grants contain elements of educating Western New York,” says Jeffrey Platt, embrace Western New York’s president. “When a society chooses to educate themselves of all manner of social injustices, better decisions are made. A more inclusive society develops and those who are marginalized are empowered to thrive.” This year’s Buffalo Brunch takes place on Sunday, April 24, at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens. Every dime of your $50 ticket makes a better neighborhood, a better city, a better world. Honorees this year include Cleveland Heights Christian Church in Cheektowaga, the Queen City Softball League, Loop Magazine founder Michael Rizzo, and Buffalo Councilman David Rivera.
