SYRACUSE, N.Y. — June 26, 2025 — Hueber-Breuer Construction Co., Inc. has pledged $250,000 to the Campaign for ESF, the largest fundraising initiative in the history of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF).
Hueber-Breuer’s donation continues their longstanding partnership with ESF. The funds will support a range of ESF initiatives, including:
- Unrestricted scholarships
- The Timbuctoo Program, which is committed to increasing awareness, access, and opportunity in environmental fields for high school-aged youth from systemically marginalized communities
- The Construction Management Degree Program, and
- Conservation efforts on the Onondaga Lake watershed
“Hueber-Breuer’s investment in ESF is an investment in our students’ futures. We’re thankful for their belief in the power of education and shared values of sustainability, innovation, and community impact,” said ESF President Joanie Mahoney.
Founded in 1872, Hueber-Breuer is a sixth-generation, family-owned firm with a commitment to caring for their clients and the community, safety, quality, integrity, and innovation. Over the decades, the company has earned numerous awards for excellence in construction and historic preservation, and continues to lead in construction management, design-build, and general contracting services across the region.
The donation comes as ESF embarks on its $40 million Campaign for ESF, which aims to expand student access, enhance campus learning environments, and advance critical research.
Speaking at the campaign launch, Andy Breuer, President of Hueber-Breuer and a member of the ESF College Foundation Board, emphasized the importance of investing in ESF’s mission:
“ESF has relevance on both a global and local scale. I know that when we support ESF, we're investing in passionate young people who are engaged in the fight against climate change and other global environmental issues. We’re also investing in a practical, well-equipped workforce — as evidenced by the outstanding ESF graduates who work for Hueber-Breuer. For me, ESF represents legacy, practicality, relevance, problem solving, value, and opportunity.”
Brenda Greenfield, Chief Advancement Officer at ESF, also praised the gift,
“We are incredibly grateful to the Breuer Family, and the entire Hueber-Breuer team for their continued support. Hueber-Breuer’s gift exemplifies the spirit of the campaign and the power of community partnerships in shaping a sustainable future.
