Dressing Down To Support A Cause

5 Ways To Support The Variety Kids Charity

Around the West Herr Toyota Williamsville offices on Thursday, customers may have noticed employees dressing a little more casual than usual.  That's because West Herr employees wore jeans and special pins to support the Buffalo Variety Kid's charity.

Toyota Williamsville employees organized an internal fundraiser called "Dress Down Thursdays" for the charity.  Employees gave personal donations of $10 and wore special pins dedicated to spreading the Variety Kids message.  

Dress Down Thursdays also allowed employees to wear jeans as a show of support and unity.  The second of two Dress Down Thursdays will happen next Thursday March 18th.  So drop by Toyota Williamsville and check out our great looking pins. 

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to support the annual Variety Kid's telethon which will take place Sunday March 28th. Channel 7 WKBW will broadcast and sponsor the event.  The theme of this year's telethon is "Help Our Kids Smile."

"It is always great to see a smileon the beautiful face of a child and with the continued generosity of the people of Western New York," said Variety Kid's representative Stephen Podosek in a press release. 

Dress Down Thursdays is just one way to support the Variety Kid's Charity. 

Prior to the telethon, the Variety Club will also host a corn beef dinner Sunday March 14th to coincide with the Buffalo St. Patrick's Day Parade.  Other upcoming events include:

-The Women's Club Kick Off Cocktail Party

-The Sattelite Division Dinner

-The Lunch with "Mr. Food" at Salvatore's Italian Gardens.
