BUFFALO, NY – BuffaloME (www.buffalome.com), a social networking website for Buffalo residents and fans of the city, will celebrate their success and six month anniversary by donating its ‘members’ to charity.

In the past six months BuffaloME has not only grown with members and content, but has also created action in and about the community. Its members have contributed, created and participated in:

More specifically, groups have engaged the city of Buffalo including the BuffaloME Ice Skating Club, which hosted a party for Toys for Tots, collecting over 60 Toys at the Winter Classic Rink in East Aurora, as well as the BuffaloME Delicacy Committee which patronizes local restaurants monthly to celebrate the fine foods of Buffalo.

BuffaloMe.com founder Anthony (AJ) Dicembre, credits the growth of the site to the active members.

“We’re extremely fortunate to see as much success as we have in such a short period of time and wanted to share that success with a local charity chosen by BuffaloME members,” Dicembre said.  “The credit for the growth belongs to our members.  Every day hundreds of members log on to post blogs, pictures, video, and chat about what’s going on in Buffalo.”
