TV and Radio Campaigns
During the campaigns, volunteers record pledges called in by viewers/listeners. The task is essential, but also great fun. Refreshments are provided. Open to volunteers age 16 or older.

Special Events
Volunteers are a vital part of the special events team. Roles include helping out with check-in and concessions, greeting event attendees and other tasks, as needed. We are always looking for more volunteers to help with events such as the Antiques Home Show, WBFO's Buffalo Blues Bash, WNED-TV Kid Fest, screening events and more.
