Posted: Wednesday, April 3, 2019Please Support the 2019 Faculty and Staff Appeal
From the Faculty and Staff Appeal Committee
The 2019 Faculty and Staff Appeal—the annual fundraising campaign that supports the outstanding students and programs of Buffalo State—is underway, but there is still plenty of time to make your donation. Your generosity has helped hardworking students like Francesco Cardillo.
As a former Buffalo State student-athlete on the men’s soccer team, and now as the team’s head coach, Mr. Cardillo experienced firsthand the tremendous impact that contributions to the Bengal Club have had on our student-athletes and their programs.
After transferring to Buffalo State from SUNY Canton in 2013, he was particularly impressed with the athletics department’s and soccer program’s mission to create the very best experience for its student-athletes. As a coach, he’s not only adopted that mission but has expanded its reach so that all our student-athletes leave the soccer program with a quality education and outstanding, positive memories they’ll cherish for the rest of the lives.
“Annual contributions to the Bengal Club Fund or to one of the 17 team funds make it possible for our more than 400 student-athletes to compete at the highest levels in academics, athletics, and in the community,” Mr. Cardillo said. “The generosity of our donors helps provide our student-athletes with uniforms, equipment, and other services and resources to help them reach their goals and achieve their dreams both on and off the playing field.”
The Bengal Club is just one of hundreds of funds that you can support through the Faculty and Staff Appeal. The full list of funds (PDF, 289 KB) is available on the Giving website.
Whether you make a one-time gift or opt for payroll deductions throughout the year, your gift will help ensure that more students have the chance to realize their dream of a college education. Please use the form enclosed in your donor packet or make your gift online. If you did not receive a donor packet through campus mail, or if you have questions about the appeal, please contact a member of the Faculty and Staff Appeal Committee.
Join us! It’s What Bengals Do.
