People go hungry in the world, even in the United States, every day.
David O'Brien, a Buffalo native and cousin of City Honors student Sean Dixon, made it his mission in life to try to make hunger a thing of the past. He traveled all over the United States by bike and then all over the world working at this goal until his tragic death in India in 1997 at the age of 27. His family decided to take up his cause and in memory started David's Dinner, an annual event designed to raise awareness of the problem and money for its resolution. This year, the dinner was held on March 10 at Canisius High School. A committee of several of David's family members along with representatives from City Honors, Canisius, and Nardin worked for several months planning the event.
