Letter from Our Founder
Dear Friends, Supporters, and Fellow Change-Makers,
When I first envisioned Queen City Revival, it was with a simple but powerful idea: to create a space where young professionals could come together to make a meaningful difference in our community. Western New York is a place rich in history, culture, and resilience, but like any community, it also faces its share of challenges. I knew that if we could harness the collective passion, skills, and resources of our generation, we could become a force for positive change, uplifting those around us while also growing as individuals.
Our mission is to cultivate philanthropic opportunities that empower young professionals to positively impact the Western New York community. Through meaningful service, collaborative projects, and skill-building experiences, we strive to be contributors who help address the unique needs of our region. We believe that when we come together with a shared purpose, we can amplify our efforts, support diverse groups in need, and foster a culture of giving that extends beyond ourselves.
Our vision is to create a future where young professionals are united in service, actively contributing to a more inclusive, resilient, and thriving Western New York. We see a community strengthened by our collective efforts, where generosity and collaboration lead to lasting, positive change. It is our hope that Queen City Revival will leave a legacy of impact, not only through the initiatives we support but also through the personal growth and development of every member who joins us on this journey.
I am incredibly grateful for each and every one of you who has believed in this vision and contributed to our shared mission. Whether you are a volunteer, donor, partner, or supporter, your involvement matters. Together, we are building something truly special—a movement that celebrates the spirit of giving and the power of community.
Thank you for your dedication, passion, and commitment. I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together as we continue to grow, serve, and uplift Western New York.
Sincerely,
Natalie Wasieczko, MAOL,
Founder and President of Queen City Revival
