SABRES 101

The Buffalo Sabres Foundation kicked off a campaign Sunday to help make Buffalo a greener place.

The Sabres Foundation, along with Entercom Radio and the Buffalo News, launched the "Green Goal" campaign. The campaign will work with Re-tree WNY to raise funds to purchase trees to be planted along Western New York streets and in parks.

"We have a sustainable community program, ‘The Sabres Green Team’, that adopts a project each season that benefits our community,”"said Rich Jureller, spokesperson for the Buffalo Sabres Foundation, "We are especially excited about helping Re-Tree WNY this year so they can reach their goal of reforesting our area, devastated by the October 2006 surprise snowstorm. In fact, we are matching each $40 donated with $40 from our foundation so that trees can be bought this year to be planted by their volunteers."

The Buffalo News will donate print space to support the campaign, while Entercom will devote time on WGR 550 AM, which it owns, to promote the group's efforts.

Donations can be made via PayPal at the Green Goal website. Donations may also be mailed to Re-Tree WNY Green Goal, P.O. Box 347, Tonawanda NY 14151-0347.
