About the Event 

This year’s 15th Annual Building Blocks Breakfast is more than a gathering; it’s a milestone. PUSH Buffalo is celebrating 20 years of building community power, advancing racial, economic, and climate justice, and proving what’s possible when neighbors come together to shape their future.

Join us for a complimentary breakfast as we celebrate 20 years of PUSH and work towards a more equitable, sustainable future, together.

FAQs

Do I need to register ahead of time?

Yes! Space is limited and seating is assigned, so it is required to register for this event. Register above to secure your spot. Be sure to note if you were invited by one of our awesome table captains so we can seat you at their table.

Why should I attend? 

Whether you are new to PUSH and this is your first Breakfast, or you’ve been to every single one, there’s a (assigned) seat for you at the table. This special event is an opportunity for us to share what we’ve been up to, give the mic to some powerful voices, and inspire action and hope in everyone who attends.

What can I expect?

A riveting and punctual program, a light, but yummy breakfast, a room filled with people who care about our city and world, and to be asked to make a donation. It is a fundraiser after all! While you have no obligation to make a gift, we do end our program by asking that you consider it. 

What's a table captain?

As a Table Captain, you'd invite people from your own network to join you for a meaningful morning celebrating the power of community and helping fuel the work ahead.

Choose the option that works best for you:

1. Full Table Captain: Invite 7 guests to join you at your table.

2. Half Table Captain: Invite 3 guests to join you at a shared table.
