Aspire of WNY felt like winners long before the score cards were turned in! Our agency was incredibly honored to be chosen as the beneficiary of this year’s 2025 Farrell Roofing & Jameson Roofing Golf Outing at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY!
Farrell Roofing & Jameson Roofing, a leading commercial roofing company with locations in Las Vegas, Cleveland, Erie, Dunkirk, Buffalo, and Plattsburgh, are not only known for exceptional work, but also for their commitment to giving back to the community! Each year, the team at Farrell Roofing & Jameson Roofing uses their annual golf outing as a chance to raise funds for a local nonprofit. This year, Aspire of WNY was thrilled to be the recipient of those funds!
It was a beautiful, sunny day at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, NY as golfers teed off at 1 p.m. in an 18-hole scramble. Attendees tried their luck with a variety of raffle baskets at registration, while our Communications/Intake & Outreach team hosted an informational table, sharing details about our programs, upcoming events, and the vital work we do supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A piece of artwork from our iXpress program sparked meaningful conversations about the talents and potential of the people we support.
After a gorgeous day on the course, the golfers returned to the lodge for a buffet-style dinner, where they were wowed by a fabulous selection of entrées, sides, soups, desserts, and drinks. Raffle winners were called, tournament champions celebrated, and everyone cheered and put their hands together when Farrell Roofing & Jameson Roofing presented Aspire of WNY with a check for $11,040. Along with additional contributions from the day, they helped raise an incredible $12,690 to support our mission!
Our team was absolutely blown away by the incredible generosity! When invited to share a few words, staff from our Communications/Intake & Outreach team expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Farrell Roofing & Jameson Roofing, emphasizing the importance of donations like these in continuing our mission.
“It is because of donations like these that we can provide life-changing services and opportunities to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Western New York,” shared Tracy Flagella, Intake & Outreach Coordinator at Aspire of WNY. “To see this in action was very, very touching. We, along with the individuals we support, will be forever grateful.”
All in all, it was a fantastic day filled with great company, a beautiful course, delicious food, and, most importantly, raising vital funds for the people we support. We are immeasurably grateful to Farrell Roofing & Jameson Roofing for their support and look forward to many more years of partnership and making an IMPACT!
