Last weekend, a few Starry Bridge BuddyUp families got together for a casual bike ride around the University at Buffalo (UB) campus.

As the weather turns chilly in Buffalo, fall begins to settle in—and with it comes pumpkin season. It felt like the perfect time for our BuddyUp families to gather at the pumpkin farm for an especially joyful occasion: celebrating Z’s birthday.

As Starry Bridge’s Summer Sunday Flea Market comes to a close, we’re looking back not only at what the kids did, but at what began to grow through those shared moments.

A year after our first boating event, families and friends from Toronto, Buffalo, Rochester, and beyond gathered with us again on August 16 at Beaver Island.

On Sunday, July 26, 2026, the Starry Bridge Summer Sunday Flea Market brought together youth volunteers, inclusion families, and community members for a joyful afternoon of service, connection, and fun.
