Additionally, we are excited to announce that Anthony Chase is the winner of the Ambassador Raffle, which featured a Buffalo Bills Curtis Samuel cleat and Fisher-Price Little People! 

Looking ahead: As a SEFA committee, we have greatly benefitted from the exchange of ideas as we continuously work to improve the process and our efforts. In that spirit, I’m delighted to share that Buffalo State now has its own SEFA website to use for the 2025 SEFA campaign, where you can find all our digital resources in one convenient location for both the campus community and retirees. You can explore it here: https://sefa.buffalostate.edu

Finally, a quick request for our SEFA Ambassadors: Could you please let us know if you have been volunteering with the SEFA campaign for 10 years or more? We’d like to recognize those who have served as Ambassadors for over 10 years with a special appreciation next year. Please email Maria Garrity with your information.

Thank you once again for your dedication, support, and heartfelt testimonies. On behalf of the 2024 SEFA Committee (Wendy, Maria, Sue, and Allison), we wish you a wonderful holiday season ahead!
