BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo Athletics and the National Grid Foundation are proud to once again team up with Buffalo Public Schools for Hoops for the Stars. This program connects UB men's and women's basketball student-athletes, coaches and administrators with inner city youth for the purpose of promoting literacy, learning and nutrition.
Through a National Grid Foundation commitment of $15,000, UB Athletics will provide men's and women's basketball tickets to several Buffalo Public Schools to reward students that exhibit hard work in the classroom and positive behavior. UB will distribute 275 tickets to six different men's and women's basketball games this season.
