Go: events
By attending a Rochester event—whether in person or virtual—you positively impact the campaign. Our events are designed with you in mind. Whether you’re intellectually curious, a lifelong learner, or interested in meeting new people or giving back to your community, there’s something for you.
We hope to see you at an upcoming event. Even better, bring a friend along.
