Please join us in raising funds to help a Daemen alum. One of the families impacted by the white supremacy-fueled mass shooting on Saturday at the Jefferson Avenue Tops supermarket in Buffalo, NY is a member of the Daemen community. Ms. Tirzah (Hall) Patterson lost her husband, Deacon Hayward Patterson, in the mass shooting. Deacon Patterson was devoted to his family, his church, and community, and Ms. Hall is a MSW graduate and social worker with a deep commitment to making WNY a better place.

 

The Daemen University Social Work & Sociology Department and Daemen community at-large are asking for your support in raising funds to help Ms. Patterson's family through the ongoing impacts of their loss. If you feel so moved, please give using the link provided. Any amount is appreciated.
