Devastation was established in 1997. Before turning into one of Buffalo New York's phenomenal dance company and teams they began as a drill team. Operating on God's will and donations this organization changed many lives.

This particular organization runs as a family. Stepping in to partner with families in need Devastation helps fill gaps.

Pictured below is the CEO, Founder and Director Ms. Tamee Ebo. Her will, power and dream has saved many lives including her own. She has always cared for others. Her favorite saying is "Kids don't ask to be here". When said it is to express how children are effected by the lack there of, of support, finances and other trials and tribulations many suffer from.
