About the Event 

Join PUSH Buffalo for the 16th Annual Building Blocks Breakfast on October 22, 2026, as we celebrate over 20 years of community-led resistance, neighborhood organizing, and transformative change. From affordable housing and green job training to disaster response and community development, PUSH members are proving that a more equitable, sustainable future is possible when we build it together. Your support fuels this work and gives our community the flexibility to respond to its most pressing needs.

Apathy costs nothing until it costs everything. Join us in the resistance!

Thank you, Table Captains!

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.
