Photo of the Day: East Leadership Raises Money for B.U.D.D.I.E.S.

The Charity Champions program and holiday gift wrapping fundraiser raise money for the foundation.

The efforts of  Leadership helped bring a donation via Cablevision's Charity Champions program to the B.U.D.D.I.E.S. Foundation. 

According to the B.U.D.D.I.E.S. website, the foundation, which stands for Better Understanding Developmental Disabilities in Every Situation, is a group of parents dedicated to helping children autism and other developmental and learning disabilities. The foundation was granted the donation from the Charity Champions program in December 2011.

East Leadership also raised money on their own for B.U.D.D.I.E.S. by putting together a holiday gift wrapping fundraiser.
