Hello! My name is Tharini, and I am a sophomore Health and Society major from Fremont, CA. I joined Bona Buddies because of the vast impact this organization has on the community around us here in Cattaraugus County, and I have been a student coordinator with Bona Buddies since February 2021. Being on the administrative side of things has allowed me to work with awesome team members to contribute to this wonderful cause on a larger scale.

Bona Buddies has been a great space for students to interact, learn, inspire, and be inspired, and seeing the wholesome relationships buddies and mentors have formed has warmed my heart at every turn. This Giving Tuesday, I encourage you all to donate and further our efforts in giving back to our community here. We are so thankful for all your support, and we look forward to celebrating this Giving Tuesday with gratitude!
