The West Side Youth Development Coalition is excited to announce its first WSYDC fundraiser on Wednesday, October 1, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Sportsmen's Tavern, 326 Amherst Street, Buffalo, 14207. Tickets are $20 and include appetizers, soft drinks, and live music from the Sportsmen (Dwayne Hall and Friends). A cash bar will also be available.

Three ways to buy tickets:

• Online at www.sportsmenstavern.net
• In person on October 1
• By phone at (716) 341-9094

The WSYDC uses an environmental approach, which is an evidenced-based strategy with three main goals: changing the environment, changing social norms, and increasing collaboration between law enforcement and the community. Our two main objectives are to enhance the capacity of the coalition and to reduce the use of alcohol and prescription drugs among youth.

Today, the WSYDC has more than 170 stakeholders drawn from Buffalo State researchers; faculty and staff members; law enforcement; the Buffalo Public Schools; the court system; the Erie County Health Department; and community-based organizations and sectors, businesses, and faith-based organizations in the neighborhood.
