Hope Rising Gala
March 1, 2025

Arbor at the Port | 1000 N. River Street, Rochester, NY
This is the 20th year celebrating our signature fundraising event for The Child Advocacy Center of Greater Rochester. Hope Rising presented by Sage Rutty helps raise money for the approximate 2,000 children who came to us for intervention services and the 50,000+ youth and teens we have reached through prevention education this past year. Guests are invited to bring a bottle of their favorite wine(s) to share with their table. The evening includes a silent auction, wine, cocktails, dinner, and a live auction.
We are proud to share that our Hope Rising Gala, presented by Sage Rutty, didn’t just raise hope—it raised nearly $440,000 to support our mission! This incredible achievement would not have been possible without YOU. Your generosity and unwavering support help create a world where every child is safe, protected, and free from abuse. Thank you for making hope rise!
