NextGen Shop 'Til You Drop Challenge for Charity

  • Aguacates Mexican Cantina 3540 McKinley Parkway Buffalo, NY 14219 United States (map)

Ring in the season of giving with a fun evening of networking and shopping for charity!

Join NextGen Buffalo for our annual Shop Till You Drop for Charity. After last year’s event was snowed out (twice!), we’re bringing it forward to November to make sure we can gather, give, and connect.

This event is a great opportunity to:

• Meet other young professionals in the insurance industry

• Learn more about NextGen and our mission

• Support Be A Blessing Buffalo, a local nonprofit helping families in need


Price: $40 includes light appetizers and $30 spending cash.

Can’t make it to the event? No problem, you can still show your support by contributing in increments of $25.

Sponsorship opportunities are available. Please contact Jeanne Hellert at iiaawny@gmail.com.
