Did you mark June 3rd on your new 2011 calendar?

Can you feel it Buffalo? BASH is only 6 months away, and the planning is starting here at the Chapter!

This annual fundraiser has amazing food from some of Western New York’s top restaurants, the music of Lance Diamond, and is a one-of-a-kind military-themed event! It’s even been named Buffalo’s Best Annual Fundraiser in 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010 by ArtVoice and was the recipient of the 2007 Outstanding Event Award by Buffalo Niagara Event Professionals!

Last year’s BASH had over 4,000 people in attendance, we went through 3,800 grilled hotdogs and sausages, over 2.2 tons of ice, had 15 sheet pizzas delivered every half hour, and had too much fun to measure!  However the most important and gratifying part of the evening was that we raised over $340,000 for vital emergency services right here in Western New York.

So mark the calendar for June 3rd, 2011 and be sure to stay up to date with us by visiting www.redcrossbash.org, check back often, and Prepare to Party!
