(BUFFALO, NY) Cellino and Barnes, P.C., presented a donation of $21,500 to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in support of pediatric cancer research and family support programs through Carly’s Club. At the beginning of the 2010-2011 National Hockey League season, Cellino and Barnes pledged to make a gift for every game won by the Buffalo Sabres.

The Sabres won 43 games during the 2010-2011 season. Ross Cellino, partner of the firm, visited Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center today to present the check.

“On behalf of our clinical and research team and pediatric patients, thank you to Cellino and Barnes for their generous and meaningful gift,” said Dr. Martin Brecher, the The Waldemar J. Kaminski Chair in Pediatrics at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. “This funding will support promising new research led by scientists who are searching for new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat pediatric cancers.”

Dr. Brecher shared that some of the funds will also provide programming to help young patients and their families throughout their cancer journeys.

"Roswell is a tremendous asset to our community,” said Ross Cellino. “Cellino & Barnes is pleased to make this contribution to help Roswell Park in the fight against childhood cancers."
