WE BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE

Let’s build a better tomorrow.

As citizens of Buffalo, NY, we are committed to improving our community. Uplifting others through our civic initiatives gives us joy and motivates us to work even harder. We believe in community service, philanthropy, and overcoming challenges together, all essential for building a better tomorrow for us and future generations. We have established the $1 million ASCEND philanthropic fund to support Western New York-based healthcare organizations and healthcare professionals. These funds are provided as academic scholarships for students pursuing education in healthcare professions, such as physicians, nurses, advanced practitioners, and allied health professionals. Furthermore, the funds are provided as research grants, utilized to create and fund professional development and training for healthcare professionals, and to support building medical facilities and purchasing medical equipment.
