Every year, Buffalo Spree Publishing supports dozens of nonprofits and charity events through donations and sponsorships; we have been honored for our support of the Western New York community by such organizations as the American Institute of Architects, the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Preservation Buffalo Niagara, Buffalo-Niagara Event Professionals, and the New York State Nursery Landscape Association, Inc.
