The Buffalo Bisons today announced that $15,000 was raised from the showing of Buffalo Sabres NHL Playoff games on the Dunn Tire Park Big Board. The funds will be donated to four local charities in a check presentation prior to the Herd's game against the Indianapolis Indians on Monday, June 19 (7:05 p.m.).

The $15,000 will be divided among Western New York United Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Carly's Club, the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Mercy Flight. Representatives of all four charities, Sabres Director of Public Relations Mike Gilbert and Sabrestooth will be present in the pre game ceremony.
