Hillside Special Santas & First Niagara Bank team up to help Buffalo youth

November 20, 2007--In an effort to extend the Greater Buffalo community the opportunity to help youth and families there build better futures during the holidays, Hillside Special Santas announces that it is partnering with First Niagara Bank this year.

Thirty First Niagara branches in and around Buffalo will display a total of 1,000 Hillside Special Santas gift tags, each one describing a specific child’s wish, this year in their lobbies. Beginning now, visitors to any of these 30 First Niagara branches are asked to remove a tag, take it home, and purchase a corresponding gift. New, unwrapped gifts should be returned to the branch location by December 17.
