The Annual Maria Love Charity Ball is a great opportunity to explain to our young people how attending can help others in our own community, while having a fun night out with friends! Our mission? We are a bridge to independence providing interim financial support to the people of Erie County with convalescent needs. Learn more & view our Board here!

Charity Ball is a Middle School dance for grades 5-8 only at Buffalo RiverWorks!  Semi-formal attire. Girls are encouraged to wear a dress or dressy pants and blouse.
