As we close out 2025, we’re reflecting on what’s been accomplished in these 12 months with immense gratitude.

This year was shaped by collaboration, trust, and shared commitment—from our team, our community partners, our clients, and the neighbors who built alongside us every step of the way.

We’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished together and excited for what’s ahead.

From our team at CGG, we wish everyone a joyful, restorative start to 2026. Happy New Year! 🍊✨

As we enter 2026, we’re proud to sponsor Buffalo’s New Year’s Eve Ball Drop, which also serves as a fundraiser for the Police Athletic League of Buffalo, Inc.’s youth sports programs throughout the year. 🍊💫

Tomorrow night’s celebration isn’t just about counting down to midnight. It’s about coming together as a city in joy and anticipation while supporting the spaces that offer young people opportunities, structure, and care.

We’re excited to gather tomorrow, welcome the new year with our community, and keep showing up for the work that continues long after the ball drops. 🍊🥂

Last week, we had the honor of celebrating our Managing Director, Kim LaVare, who received the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Award as part of the East Side Excellence Awards from the King Urban Life Center, with recognition from the New York State Senate and a county proclamation. ✨

This recognition reflects Kim’s long-standing commitment to the East Side of Buffalo and the work she’s led to support community-rooted, people-first change. Her leadership continues to shape how Clementine Gold Group shows up: with intention, accountability, and deep respect for place and people.

We’re so, so very proud to celebrate Kim and the work she pours her heart and passion into every day as a pillar of our team at CGG. Congratulations!!! 🍊🧡

We’re grateful to be closing out the year with this brilliant group of culture shapers.

Culture Carriers was established in 2025 to give Buffalo leaders a space to learn, reflect, problem-solve, and support one another — especially in a moment where organizational culture work requires strategy and intention in a climate of so much uncertainty.

Here’s to the ideas shared, the challenges worked through, and the growth we created together in 2025.

We’re proud of this community, and excited for what’s ahead. 🧡🍊

Thanks to the generosity of our community, our Community Food Drive brought in over 1,000 lbs of food and essential items — enough to fully stock multiple high-need pantries and community fridges across the city. ✅

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the flyer, dropped off items, ordered from the wishlist, or encouraged others to get involved. From shelf-stable meals to hygiene products, every item collected went straight to our neighbors who need it most.

We’re proud to share that Clementine Gold Group was recognized this week as a 2025 Economic Champion by the Buffalo Niagara Partnership — honored among Western New York’s leaders, change-makers, and innovators. 🍊
