The 8th grade takes community service very seriously. December is the month of thanks and giving and The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund was the latest recipient of help from a group of 8th graders. The students volunteered to write thank you notes to BISON donors. A great opportunity to help out an organization with a mission of giving all families the opportunity to afford the school of their choice.
So happy to MC the The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund Annual Luncheon and celebrate thousands of WNY children getting the opportunity to have quality educations because of millions of dollars in scholarships from generous donors!
Introducing our 2022 Friends of Father Baker Reception Honorees....
Paul Bauer, Thomas Beecher, Jr. & Chris Jacobs
Co-Founders of The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund
Determined that families should be able to choose the school that best fits their child’s needs regardless of their income or ZIP code, the BISON Children’s Scholarship Fund was created. Since its inception, BISON helps K-12 students in the eight counties of WNY. It works with more than 80 private schools and has awarded approximately 39,000 scholarships, boasting a private investment of $40.7 million since its inception.

CSF partners across the country have been welcoming CSF Scholars back to school, including The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund in Western New York. "This year BISON is proud to serve nearly 1,900 K-12 Scholars across all eight counties of WNY, making their private school education possible! Who was more excited for the first day of school... the kiddos or the parents?"
Students in Sr. Diane's 2nd grade and Miss Lippert's 1st grade had a wonderful time on Tuesday. Members of the The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund President's Council visited their classrooms to read two stories. The books were then generously donated to the classroom library. The students were enthralled and loved their guest readers. Thanks BISON and the guest readers.

I was honored to have sung our National Anthem for The Bison Children's Scholarship Fund's most recent annual luncheon. My siblings and I were awarded this scholarship when we attended Saint Margarets School, and I can't imagine where we would be academically if it weren't for our parents and the Bison Scholarship Fund.
I was also asked to give an expression of gratitude and to invite the audience of supporters to sow into this marvelous mission. I must admit that I was a bit fearful of the public speaking aspect, but i am so grateful that Cindy Benz McDonald Amy Popadick & Jean Lorigo, gave me the needed push to get up there and to tell my story. This event truly blessed me. Thank you, ladies, for the years of encouragement and for the chance to share my story on this platform. 💥A special thank you to my friend Officer Benjamin Pasiak for accompanying me on the guitar!

The The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund just held their annual celebration luncheon! This luncheon is part of BISON's work to raise money for scholarships for western New York students whose families need help paying for the cost of private schooling. Since 1995, BISON has awarded over 37,000 scholarships to western New York students! We've been fortunate to receive BISON funding for our families and are so grateful for all of their support! Thank you, BISON, for making it possible for families to choose where their child attends school!
Today National Fuel had the honor of attending The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund's Annual Celebration Luncheon. It was a great event- good to gather for such a wonderful cause. We at National Fuel support 4 BISON high school scholarships for students from their freshmen to senior years. Right now, the NFG scholars are in their junior year- we're very proud of their accomplishments.
This afternoon we welcome back the The BISON Children's Scholarship Fund for their Annual Celebration Luncheon!
