BUFFALO, NY – The first annual Spring into Summer fundraising luncheon scheduled for Thursday, June 4 will take place as planned for the purpose of recognizing community and Conservancy supporters while raising awareness for its mission. Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy leaders are adjusting the event to respectfully remember Maksym Sugorovsky with the wearing of green ribbons by the 400 guests and by holding a moment of silence during the invocation.
Our community is mourning the tragic loss of this little boy, the critical status of his sister, and the emotional forever impact on these families. It is out of respect for them that we keep them in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
– Stephanie Crockatt, Executive Director the BOPC board and staff
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday issued an executive order for the state Department of Transportation to lower the speed limit on the Scajaquada Expressway to 30 mph following Saturday’s tragic vehicle accident that claimed the life of a 3-year-old boy and left his 5-year-old sister in critical condition.
