Goodwill gala showcases Hope in Bloom in Finger Lakes
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Friday, the Goodwill of the Finger Lakes hosted their 2025 Goodwill Gala. This year's theme was 'Hope in Bloom.'
Emceed by News 8's Adam Chodak, the event helped celebrate the impact Goodwill's community-based programs have had throughout Rochester and the Finger Lakes.
The organization's biggest fundraiser of the year helped to raise money for programs such as 211 Lifeline, Goodwill Vision for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Goodwill Learning Academy, and the Good Neighbor Program.
'We can't do it without our Goodwill shoppers and donors every day of the week, but tonight is such a special night to really understand all the hope, that comes from our community programs, but just everyone in this room is phenomenal. We're really grateful,' Goodwill Finger Lakes President and CEO Jennifer Lake said.
