Friday, June 10, 2011 at 11:23AM 
Buffalo Reformed, an education reform advocacy organization that brings together parents, teachers, business leaders and community stakeholders in an effort to revitalize Buffalo through an improved education system is hosting a fund raiser tonight to continue their mission to make fundamental changes in education by putting the focus back on students.
The fundraiser--coined a Schoolyard BBQ starts at 5:30pm at Flying Bison Brewery at 491 Ontario Street in Buffalo. Tickets are $35 and include food and drink, live music and a souvenir mug and of course supporting a good cause.
Buffalo ReformED is run by a dedicated and passionate team. Executive Director, Katie Campos started the organization nearly 2 years ago after working on federal and state education policy around President Obama's competitive education reform grant, Race to the Top. After watching very well intentioned education reform policies fail to pass in state houses, Katie recognized the need for locally-grown education policy that is specifically targeted to the needs of the community. At the time, there was no voice for education reform in Buffalo; Buffalo ReformED aimed to fill that void by creating a reform agenda that is focused on always putting students first.
