Buffalo-based team members volunteer for United Way Day of Caring 

VOL 26 ISSUE 27, July 7, 2025 

Nearly 70 Delaware North team members rolled up their sleeves for United Way of Buffalo & Erie County’s Day of Caring on June 25, hosted at nonprofit organizations throughout Western New York.

About 50 team members painted and prepared summer camp spaces at Cradle Beach, a Western New York nonprofit organization that provides camp programs for youth for whom traditional summer camp is inaccessible.

Team members from corporate headquarters, The Westin Buffalo and Niagara Falls State Park volunteered at two Boys & Girls Clubs in Buffalo. Pictured in the front row, from left to right, are Natalie Murphy, Liesel Schwarz, Emily Henderson, Kate Zellefrow, Caitlin Drennan, Kimaya Pradhan, Janice Heckt and Joe Argenta. Pictured in the back row, from left to right, are Sarah Regan, Tim Barthold, Denise Gabala, Kayla Clark, Mark Pietruszka and Steven Paganelli.

Team members also went to the Seneca Babcock and William C. Baird Boys & Girls Clubs (BGC) of Buffalo to freshen up the spaces through projects such as painting, trimming overgrown hedges, cleaning and creating a mural.
