It is our goal to help build a strong educational foundation for their future.

The 2008 Cellino & Barnes College Scholarship Program is underway and high school seniors may apply online at Cellino & Barnes College Scholarship Program.

In addition to the highly publicized scholarship programs, Cellino & Barnes also helps numerous charities and organizations throughout Western New York.

Cellino & Barnes has partnered with Roswell Park Cancer Institute to continually support their blood drive. On a quarterly basis, the attorneys and staff at Cellino & Barnes donate blood and platelets to help the patients at Roswell fight cancer. "Cancer has affected us all in some way. Donating blood and platelets is one way we can help save a life," states Steve Barnes.

Recently, attorneys and staff volunteered at a local community shelter for women and children. The members of Cellino & Barnes provided the families an escape from their normal difficult lives. There was Christmas caroling, cookie decorating, coloring and presents from Santa. "This experience has a special place in my heart" stated attorney Ross Cellino. "Seeing the excitement on the kids faces when they saw Santa was priceless. I was honored to be part of this event."
