๐ GIVE 716 is happening NOW! ๐
From 7:16 PM on July 15 through 11:59 PM on July 16, Western New York is joining forces to support the incredible non-profits that keep our community strong. We are asking you to stand proud with SMART (Spinal Muscular Atrophy Research Team)! ๐
Since sunsetting our annual event at KeyBank Center, your GIVE 716 Day support is absolutely vital to help us continue our mission. The Reilly Family and everyone at SMART are deeply humbled by the incredible kindness and generosity you all have shown us over the years.
๐งฌ Why your support matters:
What is SMA? Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a rare but devastating genetic disease affecting muscle strength and movement. Thanks to research backed by SMART and supporters like you, treatment options exist, but there is still no cure.
The impact: Did you know that 1 in 35 people unknowingly carry the gene that causes SMA? Your donation helps fund cutting-edge research, bringing real hope to families today and to children yet to be born.
๐ Maximize Your Impact with Power Hours!
Please join the Buffalo Bills and Sabres in supporting SMART. If you donate during the designated Power Hours today (including coming up at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and 7:00 PM!), SMART becomes eligible for amazing matching funds from community sponsors!
