Variety's Special Hands On Program

Friday July 18, 2008 approximately 400 children were treated to the Buffalo Bisons game at Dunn Tire Park. In addition to the game, which the Bisons won, the children enjoyed a hot dog, pop, popcorn and a great fireworks display.

Children from the African American Cultural Center
were treated to a holiday party in December 2007.
Approximately 100 children,
 received gifts and refreshments.

Variety At Work gives volunteers the chance to make themselves personally available to children with special needs. These variety volunteers feel most passionately that giving and doing work hand in hand.

Through Variety At Work, volunteers are able to give hands-on experience while exposing disadvantaged children to things they would not normally see or do. The outings have included a day at the Buffalo Zoo, a visit through the Haunted Catacombs, Fun Day with the Buffalo Bisons at Dunn Tire Park, and a day at Fantasy Island. In addition children, enjoy annual Easter and Christmas parties.

Scroll down and take a look at some pictures from just a couple of Variety At Work events....The Smiles Tell It All...
