It’s a simple way we can help make a difference and strengthen our community in downtown Buffalo,” said Eric Feldstein, M&T Bank regional president for Western New York. “This lunchtime concert series is where caring meets celebration —we hope you’ll join us at our Fountain Plaza branch this holiday season.”
