Spreading happiness & Hope, One Smile At A Time.
WELCOME!
The Cheer Foundation spreads hope, joy, happiness and cheer to those who need it most in our community by partnering with local organizations and individuals in WNY. Often seen wearing exceptionally bright yellow T-shirts and our signature red noses, our Red Nose Volunteer Crew can be found all around WNY at various community events, hospitals or just walking down the street passing out high-fives with our big fuzzy mascot, Dr. Happy himself.
No matter where we are, you won’t ever find us NOT cheerful!
Looking for us out in the community?
Though many of our Day of Cheer events are held in partnership with local hospitals and happen behind the scenes, we have appearances planned throughout the year that we would love to see you at! FOLLOW US on social media and stay up to date on where we are!
(We have also been known to show up at community events unannounced!)

Catch us on tv?
You’ve likely seen us around town, but we also aren’t very camera shy and have had the privilege of partnering with numerous channels, magazines and stations, including a segment on Hope Rises and Daytime Buffalo this past year! During the show, we give a great overview of the organization, what we’re all about, and how YOU can get involved! We’ve linked it below for your viewing pleasure. Check it out in case you missed it live!
