Our 50th Anniversary Golden Gala was a truly special evening, and we are filled with gratitude for everyone who helped make this milestone celebration possible. As we reflected on 50 years, we were reminded that C.U.R.E.’s legacy is built on the generosity, compassion, and commitment of the people who stand behind our mission.
To our presenting sponsor, West Herr Cares, thank you for making this unforgettable evening possible and for your continued investment in our community. To our Guests of Honor, the Gnage Family, thank you for sharing your story and allowing us to celebrate you. Your connection to our mission is a beautiful reminder of why this work matters so much.
We are incredibly grateful to the American Culinary Federation Chefs of Rochester for sharing their extraordinary talents and preparing a delicious spread that made the evening even more special. A special thank you to Joe Lomonaco for lending his time and talents as our auctioneer and helping make our live auction such a memorable part of the evening.
To our dedicated volunteers, both those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes in the weeks leading up to the Gala and those who gave their time and energy on event night, we cannot thank you enough. From the planning and preparation to the countless details that brought the evening together, this celebration would not have been possible without your support, dedication, and hardworking hands. You helped turn months of preparation into a meaningful celebration of our history and the Families we serve.
To every sponsor, donor, community partner, guest, volunteer, founder and friend who celebrated alongside us, thank you for being part of C.U.R.E.’s story. Your generosity and belief in our mission have helped shape the last 50 years, and your continued support will help carry that legacy forward for generations to come.
Here’s to 50 years of community, connection, and embracing Families at every turn. We are so grateful to have you beside us. 💛
