Events

Heritage Centers, (through the Heritage-Oak Foundation), has four main fundraising events every year. Everything we do is family-friendly and most of our events have a large contingent of sports and local celebrities. Each has unique opportunities for individual involvement and corporate sponsorship.

Louis J. Billittier Memorial Run/Walk

This downtown 5k Run/Walk event is held annually every May in loving memory of Louis J. Billittier of Chef's Restaurant. With a unique waterfront route, entertainment for both adults and children and one of Buffalo's best post-run/walk parties-- catered by Chef's Restaurant-- this is a great event for the whole family- as well as for avid or casual runners and walkers.

Heritage-Oak Golf Classic

Join us for a day of golf on one of Western New York's premier courses- Crag Burn. Held annually every July, it's a rare opportunity for you to play on this exclusive and private course. This event serves as a great opportunity to entertain co-workers, clients, family and friends. Always well attended by sports (and local) celebrities, past and present, and culminating with dinner and an auction, this event makes for a truly wonderful summer day of golf.

Decorate With a Donation - Holiday Poinsettia Sale

This holiday fundraiser boasts to be one of Buffalo's original and largest sales that buys and sells only "homegrown" plants.

This is a great way people can support Heritage Centers programming, all while purchasing plants that you would normally buy this time of year…as well as being a great way companies can get involved with us while they satisfy their holiday decorating needs!

We offer two plant sizes and between 3-6 different colors. All plants are beautiful, healthy (with many full blooms) and are of superb quality.
