Creating Brighter Futures
Empowering our youth to invest in themselves so they can build the greatest tomorrow, and honoring the legacy of our heroes whose values made us into who we are today.
Our Purpose
O’mazing O’pportunities supports young students interested in a trade profession by awarding tuition assistance for the opportunity of a successful career.
O’mazing O’pportunities mission is to provide the financial support to Hospice Organizations so they may continue to provide at no expense compassionate medical, physical and emotional care to patients and family.
Events
Dear Friends and Family,
It is with great pleasure to announce O’mazing O’pportunities will be holding it’s Sweetheart Gala this February to provide financial assistance to students interested in pursuing a career in the construction trades. The construction industry is facing the need for more talent to fill the many trade disciplines. Although the trades have also shown to be a very lucrative opportunity, students entering the trade schools find very limited opportunity to apply for scholarships and financial aid. The proceeds from this event will provide the jump start for students to pursue these new exciting career paths.
O’mazing O’pportunities is very excited to begin fulfilling our second mission in supporting students. Thanks to all of you that have supported and attended our past golf tournaments. We are honored and humbled that we have successfully formed this new charity and look forward to many more events in the future to support both Hospice and Trade Students

A Bit of History
In 2017, my grandparents received treatment from Hospice Buffalo. Hospice Buffalo is a sister organization of Hospice of Metropolitan Erie, Inc., both organizations are not for profit. My family and I will forever be thankful for the great staff that cared for my grandparents, while providing support to myself and family. Raising money for Hospice of Metropolitan Erie will help support other families during their time of need. I’m honored to have had the amazing grandparents that I did and look forward to raising money in remembrance of them.
