About Alumni Authentics
In Western New York, professional sports go beyond the game. It’s about the lives they touch. They are shared memories stitched into jerseys, echoing through living rooms and stadium seats. Alumni Authentics exists to turn that energy into something powerful and lasting.
What We Do
We host live autograph events where fans bring their treasured memorabilia to be signed by their childhood heroes who once filled highlight reels and Sunday afternoons. We also offer authenticated signed items such as photographs, equipment, and specialty collectibles.
The result is simple and meaningful. Net proceeds are donated to local organizations that provide critical support to community members in need. A signature becomes support. A keepsake becomes care.
Our Values
Authenticity
Every autograph is witnessed in person by Justin Enders and/or Rip Simonick as well as members of our volunteer staff, or a combination thereof. Alumni Authentics validation stickers are placed on each item unless otherwise requested, ensuring collectors can trust the integrity of their memorabilia.
Wellness
Mental and physical well being are not luxuries. They are foundations. We prioritize initiatives that reinforce both as essential pillars of a thriving community.
Connection
Meeting a childhood sports hero is a moment that lingers. We create events that spark those moments and build lasting memories between fans, families, and athletes.
Integrity
Alumni Authentics is an official 501c3 non-profit organization operated by dedicated volunteers. Transparency and accountability guide every decision, and net proceeds are donated to local causes supporting mental health and physical wellness across Western New York.
Impact
We aim beyond one time donations. We strive to support programs and facilities that create measurable, lasting change throughout WNY.
