The WNY Peace Center’s Annual Dinner is both a community celebration as well as a fundraiser, and has sustained our grassroots organization for nearly six decades! Our 59th Annual Dinner took place on Saturday, October 3, 2026.
This year’s theme was “Coming Together for Civil Resistance”, and we were honored to welcome peace author and activist Frida Berrigan as our keynote speaker! We were also thrilled to honor this year’s award winners: Carol Speser, Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Investigative Post, Stellar Media Award.
