The United Way committee would like to thank the Canisius College community for contributions to the United Way Campaign. We are currently at a third of our giving goal for the 2015 campaign.
The United Way of Buffalo and Erie County exists to bridge the gap between those who need help and those who want to help. It doesn’t matter how much you give as long as you contribute something to help those who are less fortunate. If you wish to contribute to the campaign please follow the steps below for setting up an account and donating. Those who would prefer to contribute to the campaign but would rather do so by paper, can contact Sharon Federico in OM102 at Ext. 2131 or Lisa Fischer at Ext. 2120.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of JoAnn Falletta, returns to Canisius College for its annual performance on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center. The BPO will be joined by the Canisius College Chorale, directed by Frank Scinta. The evening’s soloists are Canisius College senior Emily DiMartino, soprano; Canisius College faculty member Melissa Thorburn, mezzo-soprano; and the BPO’s assistant principal cellist Feng Hew.
The concert features the BPO and the Canisius College Chorale in performances of works by Felix Mendelssohn and Buxtehude during the first half of the concert; the second half includes Mozart’s delightful “Prague” Symphony and the premier of a new work by Buffalo-based composer Caroline Malonnée entitled “Whistler Waves” for cello and orchestra.
