Aweso Noor ’14 was spotlighted on WGRZ-TV Ch. 2’s “Selfless Among Us” feature this week for establishing a free sports and mentoring program for Buffalo youth that has already helped hundreds. 

Noor, who came to Buffalo from Kenya when he was 7 years old, attended NativityMiguel Middle School and CHS before earning a bachelor’s degree and MBA from D’Youville University. 

"A former refugee is changing lives through soccer, mentorship and hope,” the Ch. 2 headline states, "helping Buffalo kids find opportunity, confidence and a place to belong."

Noor, a husband, father of three and business development professional, founded Beyond Borders Athletics, a rapidly growing nonprofit that provides free athletic, academic and mentoring opportunities to refugee, immigrant and underserved youth across Buffalo. In less than a year, the organization has already served more than 200 young people from more than 35 schools.

"The same support I received from Journey's End, Catholic Charities, Nativity Miguel and Canisius,” Noor said, "I'm now giving back to the next generation." 

Watch the entire segment and read the extensive story by Ch. 2 anchor Melissa Holmes at wgrz.com
