DECO Celebrates Three Years in Buffalo With a Purpose-Driven Anniversary Celebration

Three years ago, DECO opened its doors in downtown Buffalo with a vision of creating more than just another place to gather. It wanted to become a space where people could connect, celebrate, and build relationships. Now, as the establishment marks its third anniversary, the team is turning that milestone into an opportunity to give back.

Located at 69 Delaware Avenue, DECO is preparing to celebrate Deco Day, an anniversary event that will benefit two community-focused organizations: The Upstate Collective and The Opportunity Alliance.

For DECO's leadership team, Quinton Smith, Joey Younger, and Ethan Grant, the celebration represents an opportunity to recognize the people and community that have contributed to the business's journey.

Rather than making the anniversary solely about the establishment's success, the team is putting community investment at the center of the occasion.

Deco Day

The Upstate Collective is committed to educating, elevating, and investing in Buffalo's people and neighborhoods. Its work extends from educational initiatives and entrepreneurial development to community engagement and charitable efforts. The organization's philosophy centers on the power of collective action and the importance of showing up consistently.

The Opportunity Alliance shares a similar commitment to creating pathways for success, particularly for young people from communities with limited exposure to opportunities and resources. Through education, mentorship, partnerships, and access to new experiences, the organization works to close opportunity gaps and help individuals reach their potential.

Both organizations reflect a larger conversation happening across Buffalo about what meaningful community investment looks like and the role local businesses can play in creating lasting change.

Beyond the anniversary festivities, Deco Day offers an example of how Buffalo's hospitality and business communities can use their platforms to support organizations working to move the city forward.

Three years in business is a milestone worth celebrating. But creating opportunities for others along the way gives that milestone even greater meaning.
