Assembly Resolution No. 1395

BY: M. of A. Peoples-Stokes

 COMMEMORATING the 100th Anniversary of the Boys &
 Girls Clubs of Buffalo, New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend organizations of outstanding purpose whose endeavors contribute
to the quality of life in their communities and throughout the State of
New York; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo,
New York, to be celebrated on Thursday, May 14, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, For a century, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo have stood
as one of Western New York's most trusted and enduring youth development
organizations; and

 WHEREAS, What began in 1926 with a single Rotary gift has grown into
a powerful legacy of impact, providing safe spaces, caring mentors, and
life-changing opportunities to generations of young people ages 5 to 18
throughout the City of Buffalo; and

 WHEREAS, As this organization celebrates 100 years of service, it is
fitting to recognize not only its rich history, but also the
significance of reaching such a rare and distinguished milestone, as
very few Boys & Girls Clubs across the nation achieve a centennial
anniversary; and

 WHEREAS, This historic moment reflects a century of resilience,
steadfast community support, and an unwavering commitment to serving
youth; and

 WHEREAS, From its earliest days to the present, the mission of the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo has remained constant: to ensure that
every young person who walks through its doors has access to a safe,
stable environment where success is within reach; and

 WHEREAS, Through high-quality after-school and summer programming,
the organization provides consistent and essential support during the
critical hours when young people need it most, helping members graduate
from high school with a plan for their future and the foundation to lead
healthy, productive lives; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo
has been at the forefront of youth development, serving young people
from disadvantaged social, economic, and family circumstances with
compassion, purpose, and dedication; and

 WHEREAS, Today, the organization operates five clubs across the City
of Buffalo, including two on the East Side, two on the West Side, and
the original South Buffalo location on Babcock Street, which continues
to serve as a cornerstone of its enduring legacy; and

 WHEREAS, Through innovative programming and comprehensive wraparound
services, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo continues to invest in the
future of the community, one child at a time; and

 WHEREAS, As it looks toward the next century, the Boys & Girls Clubs
of Buffalo remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering youth,
strengthening families, and building a brighter, more equitable
community for all; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo,
New York, and to honor its remarkable legacy of service; and be it
further

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body congratulate the Boys & Girls
Clubs of Buffalo on this momentous occasion, and extend its sincere best
wishes for continued success in empowering the lives of young people for
many years to come; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo, New York.
