Rochester Childfirst Network

We are still glowing from an incredible evening! 🥂✨

Our 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 fundraiser was a wonderful night filled with great company and a shared passion for our community's children. We are so thankful for every person who attended and for the sponsors who made it happen.

A huge thank-you to our Presenting Sponsor 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿 and our Supporting Sponsor 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸. Your generosity means the world to us and to the families we serve. 💙

We are so grateful! 💚

During our 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, 25 volunteers from 𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗫 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 came together to clean and restore the grounds here at Rochester Childfirst Network. In total, they cleared 4 acres of our property, including 1.4 acres of playground area. The transformation is truly remarkable. Our space looks fresher, brighter, and more welcoming thanks to their hard work.

To every member of the IDEX Health and Sciences team who gave their time: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your generosity makes our community stronger! 🌿

We have some incredible news to share with our community!

Rochester Childfirst Network has a matching opportunity, and it is happening right now. Every donation made before June 30th will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000, meaning your gift goes twice as far for the children we serve.

Every child deserves the chance to thrive. Your generosity makes that possible - and right now, it makes it twice as powerful.

There are only 19 days left. Don't miss your chance to make your greatest impact yet!

What a day! 🍓 Our 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 was filled with laughter, sunshine, and so much fun!

Our students and their families enjoyed lemonade, popcorn, hot dogs, burgers fresh off the grill, raffles, playground time, and a visit from the ice cream truck 🍦. It truly had something for everyone.

A big, heartfelt thank-you to our sponsor 𝗪𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 for making this celebration possible. We are so grateful for your support of our children and families! 💙
