CHS coat drive yields barrels of donations; students raise more than $550
Keith McShea

For more than two decades, we have conducted a coat drive in partnership with the outstanding Coats For Kids initiative by Colvin Cleaners.

Our community filled several barrels with coats, hats and gloves in a drive organized by our students as part of the CHS Campus Ministry program. On Monday morning the donations were loaded by student leaders into a van driven by Colvin Cleaners Vice President Chris Billoni.

Our thanks to WIVB News 4 Buffalo for stopping by to talk with our students and spotlighting this great Western New York tradition.

Students also raised more than $550 for those in need Monday through a dress-down day that was also a competitive activity within our pioneering CHS House System – Loyola House and Gonzaga House were the top fundraisers.

Students and families interested in our unparalleled Campus Ministry program, the CHS House System and the excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius – voted “Best Private School” in The Buffalo News Best in 716 issue – can learn more at canisiushigh.org and by arranging for an on-campus experience via canisiushigh.org/visit

This place is special. Let us show you why.

Sam Gugliuzza '25 plays with the BPO at CHS

What an extra-special night of holiday music in Scaccia Auditorium for Canisius High School and Sam Gugliuzza ’25.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra performed at CHS for the second straight December, and the Tuesday, Dec. 17 concert included a wonderful moment as the BPO invited Gugliuzza, an accomplished violinist, to join them.

Remembering Kevon Walker '24: 'His heart was full of love, full of dreams'

“His heart was full of love, full of dreams, and the deep desire to do well for his family.”

That is how Spanish teacher Angela Cascia remembers the late Kevon Walker ’24.

A celebration of life for Walker will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at True Bethel Baptist Church, 907 E. Ferry St., Buffalo, followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m.
