Don’t forget your donation! We are supporting The Community Place of Greater Rochester at Festivus this year. CPGR needs unwrapped toys for children 0-13 and gifts for seniors – blankets, bath towels, pots and pans, queen size sheets, etc. Please help a great cause and give back to the community. You will receive 1 raffle ticket for your donation.

This year’s holiday event is made possible by our sponsor The Entrepreneur’s Network (TEN). DR is pleased to welcome TEN Class XI Graduation Ceremony to Festivus. Before you head to the prize tables upstairs, join us at 6:00 pm in the first floor auditorium as Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks congratulates TEN’s most recent cohort of new ventures and growth stage firms. Hear participants from The Entrepreneurs Network tell their story of how they have built their businesses. TEN alumni (2006-2011), strategic partners and volunteer business coaches/mentors will be joining in the networking with DR members at Festivus!
