Compeer Rochester

This Saturday (6/13)! Compeer is a co-beneficiary of Pets Stop Here, Inc.'s Rockin' With the Pups and the Vets event! A Saturday event with food trucks, wine tastings, live music and vendors... all outdoors by the beach at Tropix, Vine & Tap. Don't miss out!

We’re still looking for business and community sponsors who want to help make Rochester a little less lonely. The Compeer Mile is our annual community walk dedicated to connection, mental health, and belonging.

Sponsors help make this event possible while supporting Compeer’s mission of building meaningful, life-changing friendships for people in our community. If your business believes in showing up for mental wellness, we’d love to partner with you.

Thanks to Rochester Business Journal for including Compeer Rochester in this important conversation about workplace mental health! Our CEO, Sara Passamonte, shared how connection, friendship and volunteerism support mental wellness in both the workplace and throughout our community.

We’re grateful to RBJ for shining a light on this issue and the local organizations committed to addressing it.

Today, we pause to honor the service members who gave their lives for our country.

At Compeer Rochester, we are grateful for the veterans, service members, families and community members who continue to carry their legacies forward.

We honor their sacrifice today and always.

Summer sunsets, calm water, and a few hours to slow down.

We’re still celebrating summer by offering two winners a sail on the lake with up to three friends — one on Lake Ontario at sunset and one on beautiful Canandaigua Lake... all while supporting Compeer’s work to reduce loneliness and strengthen mental wellness in our community.

This week, Rochester welcomed home its first all-female Honor Flight — a historic mission honoring 59 women veterans for their service, sacrifice and dedication. 👏👏

We’re especially proud that our own Liz Medina, Program Coordinator for CompeerCORPS, was among the veterans on this meaningful flight!

Waiting to welcome her home were fellow Compeer staff members and veterans, Tracy LoTemple, Director of Programs, and Gio Gutierrez, CompeerCORPS Outreach and Events Specialist.

We are honored to be part of a community of veterans who continue to show the power of service, connection and support — both during and after military service.

Congratulations to Liz and to all of the women veterans of Honor Flight Rochester Mission 95 — and thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
