I just messaged Crystal through this facebook page. The first page I messaged Crystal on removed my post.

I'm surprised. No response. I think it is a fair question before cutting a check to attend the event.

I'm disappointed in this person.
I emailed two facebook pages they have including the email address that sent me the announcement.
I think it's a fair question to ask how much of the "political donations" are going to the charity.
Trust them just verify what they say. I think that is fair.
Anyone know who their main contact is? We can ask them how much of the proceeds are going to charity.

I'm surprised I did not receive a response.
Gorja,
Do political fund raisers have to report who they are giving the proceeds to?
"Partial proceeds will be given to the Community Health Center of Buffalo Mobile Medical Unit"
Will the amount be filed at the board of elections?

WNYresident -
Don't you think the invitation refers to the theme of attire for this event?
I don't think for a second the intention you imply is true.
This is an annual campaign fundraiser for Crystal Peoples, and has been for many years, with all people welcome.
Perhaps better wording would have helped; and I don't see challenges to other, especially GOP, fundraising events with this kind of scrutiny here.
Thank you.

This is where I found out Dickman gave campaign money to Brainard in 2015!
And also where I found Dickman funded the New York State Independence Party with a large check - so much for this man claiming to be a concerned citizen seeking a position on the Town board; rather, it shows a political type masquerading as a wholesome newcomer.
And it's completely legal for political committees to donate to charity, which, by the way, makes more sense than some of the mailers this year, mostly the mailer about welfare fraud from Legislator Morton, and the crazy flag mailer from County-wide Republicans; that money would have been much better spend on charity, or maybe even donated to Mark B.'s soup kitchen in Lancaster.
Here's an interesting read-
https://onrockaway.com/report-titus-...inority-teens/
Looks like she's just another BSerThe charity, which was formed in 1985, has in the past vowed to increase the percentage of its revenues that it spends on scholarships. In the nonprofit’s official program for the 2015 retreat, then-Chairwoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes — an Assembly member from Buffalo — stated that “we intend to double the amount of scholarship funds given to students in their respective districts.”
That didn’t appear to happen, however, The group’s tax return covering the prior year’s retreat showed $32,000 going to scholarships, while the return covering 2015 boosted that amount by only $3,700. An aide to People-Stokes noted scholarship spending was basely solely on lawmakers’ tickets sales for gala. “So it’s always the goal of that year’s chairs to increase the number of scholarships given, but that’s solely determined by dinner ticket sales,” she said.
Besides a concert and the annual gala, the charity pays for an invite-only “chair’s reception,” awards ceremony and a VIP reception, according to Peoples-Stokes’ office, but it does not pay for other receptions sponsored by various groups.

Maybe not, how many other politicians hold such events?
But I sure don't think the charity's low percentage to scholarships is appropriate, either, as this story outlines, and some of the overhead expenses are disgraceful.
I doubt David DiPietrio ever tried raising $32,000 for any scholarship!
I also don't see any other local officeholder at least trying to raise any money for scholarships where there was not one.
I don't know what it meant. The "I'm offended at everything crowd" looks at everything.
Did you read my post?
How should it be taken?I had to read this twice to make sure I read what I did.
"An All-Black Affair"
How should this be taken?
I know what it is and if you look back I always post up the event.
Breezy just send over anything from a GOP fund raiser you find questionable.
