A recent project to display American flags on Elmwood Avenue arrived just in time for the Fourth of July, and CHS alumni helped make it happen.
 
Domenico Callocchia ’24 was among the organizers of the project while Hector Gitego ’25,  Bradley Saleh-McDermott ‘24, Broderick Raczyk ‘24, Kiefer Bostwick ‘24 and Lenny Sciolino IV ’18 were among many who helped carry it out. 

American flags are displayed on Elmwood from Forest Avenue to Virginia Street in a tribute to our country, its veterans and active-duty military.
 
“This effort grew organically – from the start, everything seemed to fall into place, like the path was already laid out for us,” said Callocchia. “As a community, we needed to do something meaningful to show our appreciation while bringing good energy to the neighborhood.”
 
These great images of the effort are from photographer Nic Cascio (ricoflicks_).
 
Project organizer Lenny Sciolino III is a board member of the Centro Culturale Italiano di Buffalo – a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote Italian language and culture in Western New York.
 
Donations to support the project and ongoing maintenance of the flags can be made to CCI via ccibuffalo.org; please specify that your donation is for the American Flag Project. There will also be a fundraising event for the project at CCI on Aug. 2. 

Families and students interested in the benefits of being part of Western New York’s best alumni network and the excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius – ranked as the Buffalo area’s “Best Catholic School” by Business First – can learn more by scheduling an on-campus experience at canisiushigh.org/visit
 
This place is special. Let us show you why.
