HELP SPONSOR our sale!
We are pleased to offer the opportunity for members and friends to help Sponsor the Book Sale by making a donation to the AAUW Buffalo Branch. Making it relevant to the Book Sale, we have created the following donation categories. Names of sponsors will be recognized by category on a poster at the Book Sale. This will help to defray our costs – utilities, table rentals, moving (books from collection site to the sale site), and some paid assistance.

Finally, thanks to Christ United Methodist Church for helping us out with some desperately needed temporary storage space this winter. The church has several charitable projects which align with AAUW’s mission. They would certainly appreciate donations of materials and/or, of course, monetary value. See Local – Christ United Methodist Church (christchurchamherst.org).
