What an incredible event!

On Thursday, more than 250 community members joined us at the Hyatt for our 2nd annual Blue & White Luncheon. We listened to keynote speaker Doug Emblidge share the story of his son, Jeffrey, and the profound loss his family experienced, while also highlighting the resilience of CCFCS staff who support individuals and families facing trauma every day.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, including our guests, sponsors, volunteers, staff, the Hyatt team, and especially Doug for sharing his family's story with such honesty and courage. Your support, generosity, and presence made this event truly meaningful.

Happy first day back to school! 📚✏️🎒

We wish all students a year filled with learning, growth, new friendships, and unforgettable memories. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, hundreds more students are heading back to the classroom equipped with the supplies they need to start the year strong.

Something as simple as a backpack, notebook, or box of crayons can make a meaningful difference, helping students feel prepared and confident.

As part of the University of Rochester's long-standing Wilson Day tradition, these dedicated students spent their Friday volunteering at our Cloverdale Residence, painting the basement floor and back patio. We are incredibly grateful for their time, energy, and willingness to give back!

Their efforts are a reminder that acts of service, big or small, can make a meaningful difference in our community.
