Today's Message

Buffalo State College will participate in the J. P. Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge on Thursday, June 7, at 6:45 p.m. in Delaware Park. Today is the last day to register. Register online now!

All faculty and staff members are invited to run, walk, or just hang out in the hospitality tent, but everyone must register to participate. This year’s Corporate Challenge proceeds go directly to the Western New York Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Close to 400 area businesses and 11,000-plus Buffalonians participate in this event! It’s about promoting Buffalo State camaraderie, our campus community, and team spirit, and it’s a great way to kick off the Year of the City.

Registered Buffalo State team members receive entrance to the Corporate Challenge, a J. P. Morgan Chase commemorative T-shirt, a virtual goodie bag, a Buffalo State College team T-shirt, and free food and drinks all evening at the hospitality tent.

We are excited that our hospitality tent has received a major size upgrade this year thanks to the President’s Office. We will be in the larger tent area, where we’ll represent Buffalo State alongside other large area businesses.

Our Buffalo State Team Corporate Challenge T-shirt (designed by College Relations) is a finalist in the Corporate Challenge T-shirt competition! Show your support! Go online to vote! The organization whose shirt design garners the most votes wins a $1,000 donation to the charity of its choice. You can submit a new vote every day. Anyone can vote, so spread the word!

For additional information about the team and post-race festivities, please visit the team's Facebook page. This is a great opportunity to meet other Buffalo State faculty and staff members while enjoying one of the largest charitable events in the city of Buffalo. Questions can be directed to team captains Jessica Eagan, ext. 4408, or Mary Finger, ext. 3649.
