Dear Library Lover,
In 2005, Erie County closed all the public libraries in the Town of Tonawanda, north of Sheridan Drive. In response, a group of extremely dedicated community members, led by Michael P. Rizzo, stood together to keep the former Brighton Library and transform it into a not-for-profit library and resource center. Since reopening as Brighton Place in 2006, the library has served as an inspirational success story and a destination for learning and enrichment in the Town of Tonawanda and the surrounding area.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Brighton place depends on the generosity and support of community -minded individuals and companies. The majority of our revenue is earned through fundraisers and book sales.
Today, we embark on our Year-End Campaign. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by December 31, 2022. We’re reaching out to you because, as a Brighton Place member, you’ve already demonstrated your support for maintaining a library in this neighborhood. Would you be willing to make a special year-end contribution of $25, $50, or $100 to ensure we can continue to serve this community as an important resource? With your support, we can impact our community in a lasting way.
Please join us by making your gift by clicking here or by sending a check to Brighton Place at 999 Brighton Road Tonawanda, NY 14150.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best wishes,
Donna White, Director, and the Brighton Place Board of Directors
Michael Rizzo, Bonnie Pritchard, Michael Kasperek, Joan Boccechio, Mark and Debbie Veronica, Mark Brylinski, and Kathy Sears
