BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The 120th Annual Maria Love Charity Ball will be held this weekend.

NOTE: It was stated on air that the event is for private school kids, but the event is open to all kids.

The proceeds will go to the Maria Love Fund, which benefits people in Erie County, who need financial assistance due to medical needs.

Maria Love Charity Ball co-chair Jamie Kelly told 7 News, "Some of those needs could be a feeding tube, a pediatric wheelchair, hearing aid devices, glasses for the visually impaired, ice skates for therapeutic ice skating lessons for people with Down Syndrome or people on the autistic spectrum. We are able to have these funds by having the charity ball."

The ball is on Saturday night at RiverWorks. There will be two dances: one for kids in 5-8 grade and another for high school students.
