The Imperial Court of Buffalo
The Imperial Court of Buffalo raises funds for the Buffalo community and AIDS/Gay related charities (among others charities as well), while providing fun and entertaining events for the community. Our members not only help by raising funds, but also by volunteering time and manpower.
The Imperial Court of Buffalo has assisted such events as: Cause for Celebration, Buffalo Pride, Artists and Models, Ways In Being Gay, National Coming Out Day, The Kellie McCarthy Aids Walk, The Arties, Juvenile Diabetes Walk and many, many more. If there is a cause or event which needs help, you are very likely to find members of the I.C.O.B. in regalia or not.
The Imperial Court of Buffalo is celebrating 20 years of noble deeds as a 501-C3 non-profit fundraising organization with assisting numerous charities in the Western New York area.
The Imperial Court of Buffalo is always searching for new members.

The Emperor and Empress, also referred to as the Monarchs are elected by the general membership each April. The winners of the election are announced and crowned at the Coronation Ball which is held each year in the month of May. The Emperor and Empress are the public leaders of the organization and oversee all fundraising activities during the one year period of their reign.
Coronation is the annual fundraising gala which benefits the designated charities of the current reign. It celebrates the end of the reign for the current Monarchs and the start of a new reign.
