The West Village Renaissance Group, WNY AmeriCorps, Citadel Communications (97 Rock), and the Greater Buffalo Savings Bank have partnered to create a fund for the Buffalo Police officers that were shot on Tuesday, December 5, 2006 at 9:05 pm in the West Village District of Buffalo, NY.
The West Village was the location of the shooting.
Donations can currently be made via check to “WVRG/WNY AmeriCorps Foundation” and mailed to The West Village Renaissance Group 81 Johnson Park – Buffalo, NY 14201 – Attn: M Rodgers/Parete-Andolina Fund. Cash donation cannisters have been set up at local Greater Buffalo Savings Bank locations city-wide. Online donations can be made via PayPal at:

This fund actually started by an outpouring of support for all the B District Police Officers. Residents of the West Village came together and contributed cash to provide “food for support” during this trying time.
It wasn’t until the food was picked up and delivered to B District on Thursday, December 9th that the partners in this effort found out that the vendors wouldn’t take their money. So, the funds collected, close to $500 initially, went into starting this support effort.
Officers were able to grab a quick bite at the station house and then bring some of the food up to the hospital where other off-duty officers were keeping a vigil on Officer Parete who is still in ICU. Officer Andolina was released from the hospital on Thursday with a bullet still lodged in his neck.
