It's been a while since we've put up a new post. Truth is we've been busy throughout the Region. Take this week in
Buffalo,
Rochester and the
Southern Tier, for example. But this is the holiday season, when we encourage everyone to
Give Something that Means Something, so as a gift to you we wanted to share the story of some college students learning to do just that.

The
University at Buffalo Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi saw the devastation caused by the recent
typhoon in the Philippines and wanted to help. So earlier this month, they asked for donations and sold coffee and baked goods to raise money to support the relief efforts. But of course, this is a fraternity, so they had to do something a little different. They hosted a "Pie a Pi Lam" event, in which they allowed people to hit them in the face with whipped cream pies for donations. All told, Pi Lambda Phi exceeded their $500 fundraising goal, donating a total of $640 to support the
Red Cross relief efforts in the Philippines.

This, of course, is just example of the generosity shown by people here in the Western New York/Finger Lakes regions following Typhoon Haiyan and throughout the year. Because you Give Something That Means Something, we can support our neighbors in need down the street, across the country and around the world. Thank you!
