Women & Children’s Hospital served Buffalo and Western New York as the region’s premier pediatric hospital for over a century, and in that time, it became a fixture of the community and a nation-wide standard of quality in medical care. The Burt P. Flickinger Jr. Award for Outstanding Volunteer Fundraising was established by the Hospital to highlight the charitable contribution of community leaders. Two such leaders—Anthony J. Baynes and Eileen Baynes—were recognized for their tremendous volunteer fundraising and organization in 2000.
