Mark and Donna McDonnell were drawn into SABAH in 2009, when their son Brennan began volunteering, followed in succession by his siblings PJ and Molly. Mark and Donna quickly assumed leadership roles by chairing the Starlight Night Auction and Gala in both 2013 and 2014, hosting numerous gift gathering parties, soliciting major gifts, and assisting to set up the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center prior to the event. In addition to their remarkable contributions to SABAH’s largest fundraising event of the year, Mark serves as a coach for SABAH’s Adaptive Ice Hockey program and volunteers the day of the show. Mark has also dedicated a significant amount of his time and resources to SABAH through his 8-year tenure on SABAH’s Board of Directors.
