Message from the President
“It’s not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.”
–Paul “Bear” Bryant
A
s this Annual Report message was being written, the Buffalo Bills were at training camp preparing
for a new season. University orientation programs were underway, preparing college students for the
academic year ahead. And Buffalo Prep was preparing for another year of community service and
student growth.
Success for a football team, or a student, or an educational program does not come solely through
“will.” It is the will to prepare that makes the difference, and that’s the difference in Buffalo Prep
students.
Promising, economically challenged underrepresented middle school and high school students come
to Prep to prepare for success! At Prep, they move toward futures of opportunity with motivation to
succeed through higher education, community participation and excellence in all aspects of their lives.
As Buffalo Prep moves into its next 25 years, we continue to work to increase the number of students
served and expand the positive impact we have on young lives and families. We hope to do this by
increasing support for our annual campaign and special events, and through the initiative to grow our
endowment fund.
In reviewing this report, we hope you’ll come to better understand Buffalo Prep and the quality of the
Prep student experience. And we hope you’ll join us in supporting Prep, as a volunteer, a donor, or an
advocate.
Over the years, thousands of students with the “will to win” have been given the “will to prepare to
win” through Buffalo Prep.
That’s a win for them, for their families, and for our community. And that’s what matters the most! It’s
all in the prep!
Dennis R. Black, Board President

The Power of Partnership
This has been an exciting year at Buffalo Prep! We have grown in many ways. We have served even
more hardworking students and expanded our talented team to make sure that we are providing
the best programs and services possible. We have grown our donor base, and this helps us to make
sure that we can continue to change the educational outcomes of our children. We have a strong
and committed board of directors who have taken up the challenge to launch and implement the
25th Anniversary Initiative and Buffalo Prep Endowment Fund so we can continue to strengthen our
programs and reach even more in our community. Additionally, we would be remiss if we did not
acknowledge that without their support and additional partnerships, none of our work could be done.
We’d like to take this opportunity to recognize some of our long-term partners and some new
and very exciting relationships that have been established over the past year. There can never be
enough thanks given to the University at Buffalo. The university provides us a home on the South
Campus where staff and students relish the experience of being in a college environment. They also
provide many organizational supports that enable us to operate in a responsible fiduciary manner.
Additionally, the Nichols School has for many years housed the Middle School Prep program in
a centrally located campus. We truly value our continuing relationship with our partner schools
which provide outstanding educational experiences and financial support to our students. We have
expanded our relationship with EdCo (Educational Collaborative of Western New York), and the past
two years Prep students participated in the EdCo STEAM camps that took place in EdCo schools. Also,
new this past summer, we partnered with SAY YES Buffalo to support summer programming.
As you read through our annual report, you will see many fine examples of partnerships with staff,
families, foundations, businesses, and of course individuals who contribute to the mission of Buffalo
Prep to prepare promising, economically disadvantaged underrepresented students for success in
college preparatory high schools and higher education. When these students succeed, everyone
benefits and the power of partnerships makes the impossible possible! We send our deep gratitude to
all of our partners who are dedicated to improving our community one student at a time!

Family Connection
My name is Edreys Wajed, a Buffalo native, artist, designer and educator, among many other things.
I am also a parent, and my wife and I have two children who have recently had the privilege of attending Buffalo Prep, Emeka
completed his first summer at Middle School Prep and Eman graduated from High School Prep this August.
Over the past two summers, I was invited as a guest artist by Middle School Prep to develop and teach an art related project with
the MSP students. Last summer, 2014, the theme was the celebration of 25 strong and successful years of Buffalo Prep.
100 students each contributed a personalized tile to a large, roughly 4’ x 4’ mosaic inspired
mobile mural. Using watercolor, markers and colored pencil, the students added their own
creative flare to 1 small square that when fully assembled would lend to the final larger
piece reading, “Celebrating 25 Years of Prep.” This summer, the arching theme revolved
around social media. Using foam core, paint, markers, etc. the students created a faux
computer tablet. The device featured a hand drawn and painted self-portrait in the nature
of a selfie accompanied with a mission statement or short profile about themselves, sharing
their visions, dreams and goals, in hopes to serve as a time-capsule for them to reflect on
later in life.
Alexa, Emeka, Edreys and Eman
Our eldest son, a High School Prep student, has amazed us with his development after completing the rigorous 14-month
program. I guess the best analogy for this journey would be a marathon. The early stages of pain, resistance and doubt along with
resentment for sacrificing two consecutive summers and 3 days a week during the school year, began to make sense for him 75%
of the way through. As his parents and biggest cheerleaders, we backed and supported Buffalo Prep’s expectations of the students,
encouraging focus, discipline and hard-work. The reward for his dedication paid off greater than anticipated and certainly more
than he expected. When he trotted through the finish line ribbon, he was surprisingly awarded as the recipient of The John R.
Oishei Scholarship, permitting him to attend the school of his choice, The Park School of Buffalo.
My wife and I are incredibly grateful for all that the Buffalo Prep program has done in refining our son into the scholar we have
always intended for him to be, certainly adding to his self confidence in academics and future pursuits.
Best,
Edreys Wajed

percent.”

September 2014, Prep for Dinner:
To quote several board members and guests: “Prep for Dinner was a home run!” A special thank you to Todd Levin and Karen
Baker Levin for co-chairing this outstanding event. This bi-annual event brought over 320 friends of Buffalo Prep together
for a lovely cocktail party at the Darwin Martin House, followed by dinner at one of the hosts’ homes. Prep for Dinner raised
over $36,000 -the most ever for this event!
None of this would have been possible without the event’s wonderful hosts: Dennis and Leilani Black, Amy Clifton and
Barney Walsh, Mary Ann and David Coulson, Anne and Bill Joyce, Karen and Scott Fischer, Sarah and Eric Genau, Karen Baker
Levin and Todd Levin, Jock and Betsy Mitchell, Mike and Marcy Newman, and James and Patti Stephen.
Guests were greeted by Buffalo Prep students on their way into the cocktail party and heard from our guest speakers: Mychal
Liriano (Middle School Prep student), Anthony Liriano (College Prep student) and Luis Rodriquez (Alum).
Thank you to everyone who supported this exceptional event!

October 2014, Speaker Event:
Over 35 community leaders joined Buffalo Prep board member, Dr. Shelley Kimelberg at
the Albright Knox for an illuminating and thought provoking presentation on inequality
in access to education and why it matters. As an organization that advocates for these
youth, we feel it is our responsibility to heighten awareness on inequality issues that
remain on both the national and local level. It is our hope that we can continue to all
move toward a future where every student has the opportunity and wherewithal to
pursue success through higher education, community participation, and excellence in all
aspects of their lives.
Dr. Shelley Kimelberg
