The Awesome Foundation is a global community advancing the interest of awesome in the universe, $1000 cash at a time, and this is the Buffalo chapter's inagural event!

We support awesome projects through micro-grants, given out quarterly. This cash come out of pockets of our local "trustees" - fine folk, like yourself - and is given on a no-strings-attached basis to Buffalonians working on awesome projects.

Come out for the first-ever round of awesome semi-finalist pitches, enjoy tastings from The Washington Market, Big Ditch Brewing Company, & Niagara Distilling Company LLC: 1812 Vodka and Gin, and support *awesome* in Buffalo by voting on your favorite. One winner will finish the event with $1000 to make Buffalo even more awesome!
