This summer we're received two incredible lemonade stand donations from some very generous kids across WNY.
Aubree & Cooper, twins with big hearts, raised an incredible $3,300 for the Patricia Allen Fund! Each year, they choose a different organization to support, and we're so honored they chose @GCHBuffalo this year.
Champion Kid Killian, raised $1,017, which may or may not be a nod to his favorite quarterback and the Patricia Allen Fund 😉
Thank you to these incredible kids, their families and everyone who stopped by their stands to lend a hand. Your generosity helps us get kids back to being kids 💙

🥁 Introducing the McCollum Family Pediatric Recovery Wing!
In June, The Patricia Allen Fund announced a landmark achievement in its mission to support the critical care needs of patients and families at Golisano Children's Hospital of Buffalo, surpassing $17 million raised since its founding five years ago.
Thanks to her generous $150,000 gift, Buffalo native and businesswoman, Sue McCollum, was the one who helped us reach that milestone. It was a full circle moment as Sue’s gift of $217,000 in December of 2020 brought the fund to its first $1 million mark just a month after its inception.
"It's not only that you treat children, but you create a community where families are supported. We all know that will make kids healthier," says Sue.
Sue's donations were in memory of her late parents.
"I thought of all the things they would want me to support in their honor... this was the best thing I thought I could do."
To express our gratitude, we have dedicated a sign to Sue and the McCollum family on the 10th floor of Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.
This past week, we gathered with Sue, her family and our staff to officially unveil “The McCollum Family Pediatric Recovery Wing,” recognizing their incredible generosity and lasting impact on our patients and families.
Thank you, Sue, for your continued generosity and commitment to our patients, families and community.
Going for the extra point on some incredible news: The Patricia Allen Fund has surpassed $17 million raised for Golisano Children's Hospital of Buffalo! 🎉👆
What started as a moment five years ago with a tweet to pay tribute to @JoshAllenQB's grandmother, Patricia Allen, has become a movement of overwhelming generosity of more than 60,000 donors—and counting—from all 50 states and around the world donating to support moms, kids and babies in Western New York. The result is a community of enduring impact that will keep the legacy of “Gammy” alive through the Patricia Allen Fund.
Because of YOU, we've been able to provide lifesaving equipment and resources for the critical care team at @GCHBuffalo. Thank you FOR helping get kids back to being kids.💙

Thanks to their long standing history together, @WestHerr president, Beth Hollis, and Champion Kid Colt, the Colt45Strong Foundation has launched Colt's Closet at @GCHBuffal.
Designed for families facing extended hospital stays in our hematology/oncology unit, this initiative provides thoughtfully curated care packages, including bedding and other essentials, to make their time here a little more comfortable.
To celebrate the launch, Colt45Strong shared meals with patients, families and staff and handed out special keepsakes in honor of Colt’s late best friend and former patient, Liam—spreading even more comfort and kindness throughout the unit. 🐒✨
We’re so grateful for the generosity and heart behind this program, and for the community partners who help us care for our families.

Serving up impact one slice at a time! 🍕🎉
We're thrilled to share that Platinum Corporate Champion @CrosbysStores once again raised over $100,000 for the Patricia Allen Fund at @GCHBuffalo.
Crosby's has been a Corporate Champion FOR Children's since 2022 and, with this year's contribution, this brings their total impact to over $417,000!
Going far beyond just pizza, they baked up truly creative fundraising initiatives: Gallons FOR Patricia Allen, limited-edition merchandise, donations at the registers and, of course, selling delicious Mafia Pizza slices, Mafia Rolls and Loaded Waffle Hashbrown Sandwiches.
Thank you to Crosby's, their team and all the customers who helped reach this incredible milestone for a second year in a row!
No surprise to us! 💙
