SUMMARY:POSTPONED: EC200 Speaker Series: The Erie Canal's Indigenous Impact Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed to Tuesday\, July 8. \nAs communities celebrate the Erie Canal’s Bicentennial\, this panel will explore its lesser-known legacy – the profound impact on Indigenous peoples and the environment. While the canal represents innovation and economic growth\, its construction and expansion came at a significant cost. The discussion will focus on the urgent need to amplify the suppressed stories of those displaced by the canal’s creation. \nThis event is presented by the Buffalo Maritime Center and will take place outside the Hangar Building near the Commercial Slip. \nThe Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation (ECHDC) is presenting the 2025 Erie Canal Bicentennial Commemoration at Canalside in Buffalo\, NY from Memorial Day through September. The EC200 Speaker Series will take place in the Buffalo Naval Park’s Hangar Building on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM. \nSpeakers will include subject matter experts regarding Buffalo’s Erie Canal heritage and those who were key in helping develop the Waterway of Change: Complex Legacies of the Erie Canal exhibit in the Longshed Building. \n

SUMMARY:National PTSD Day Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Buffalo Naval Park will commemorate National PTSD Awareness Day with a ceremony to recognize veterans who suffer from injuries that we cannot see. We will unveil a new plaque that honors Gabriel Rodriguez\, a Vietnam veteran who succumbed to the torment caused by PTSD\, leaving behind a family and many friends who continue to love him. In 1985\, the Gabriel A. Rodriguez Post #1928 was established as the first Hispanic American Legion post in Western New York composed of Hispanic-American veterans. \nThe ceremony will also include remarks from The Battle Within Foundation\, a rifle salute from the Francis J. Donovan Post 1626 Rifle Team\, and a preview of the new Two Wars docuseries that will be devoted to PTSD in the military.

SUMMARY:Give 716
DESCRIPTION:Give 716 is coming up on July 15-16! Starting at 7:16 PM on Tuesday\, July 15\, the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres Foundations will be providing matching grants and funds over the course of   hours to local charities and nonprofit organizations who receive donations at www.give716.org. \nThis year\, we are undertaking a major project to preserve USS Little Rock by painting the hull of the ship. This is a $15\,000+ project that will require the purchase of a new paint barge and scaffolding\, and at least 218 gallons of paint. We will be using a special marine-grade U.S. Navy-approved paint to cover 54\,400 square feet of the ship’s hull. The paint is the only barrier between weather and steel\, and is an important part of protecting the hull from the ravages of rust and corrosion; and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the ship. \nIn honor of the 80th Anniversary of USS Little Rock\, we are asking for your help to contribute towards this project. Your $50 donation will buy 1 gallon of paint which will cover 250 square feet of USS Little Rock’s hull. \n
