An Evening Out At Home 

Our annual gala gets its name from the event’s unique approach. Guests start the evening with delectable dinners in host homes before convening at a special venue for dancing and a dessert reception. Due to COVID, we have not been able to gather in person since our 2019 event.


50th Anniversary Gala

Each year since 1991, Philanthropy Award recipients have been recognized for their creative and effective giving that inspires others while strengthening the communities in greater Rochester’s eight counties.

In 2022, we combined our annual award ceremony with our 50th anniversary gala on Saturday, September 17 at Rochester Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
