Buffalo News Kids Day
2008 maked the 26th year that The Buffalo News sponsored the annual Buffalo News Kids day to benefit the annual Telethon. Through 2007, this very important fund raiser has raised over $3.5 million dollars. Volunteers from all over Western New York rise early in the morning in April and sell the special edition for $1.00. Variety thanks everyone at The Buffalo News, all the volunteers and everyone who bought that special edition.
These are pictures that were taken of volunteers at the corner of Transit Road and Genesee Streets in Lancaster.
