Still Glowing from Dinner on the Bridge 2025

An unforgettable evening for a greener, stronger Rochester

We’re still riding the high from one of the most magical nights of the year—Dinner on the Bridge 2025—and we’re thrilled to share the impact you helped create.

• Together, we raised over $150,000, with more than $70,000 in net proceeds going directly back into our community. This means…

• 25 youth will now have a place in the Green Visions Program, where they’ll gain hands-on job training, life skills, and a path toward a brighter future.

• Over 4,000 flowers will bloom in our Green Visions Garden, turning vacant city lots into vibrant, community-owned beauty.

• 250 guests became High Falls Park Ambassadors, helping spread the word about New York State’s first EcoDistrict and our city's incredible new State Park on the way.

• And of course—who could forget the evening itself?

• A stunning three-course meal crafted by Avvino, paired with 120 bottles of wine, savored atop the Pont de Rennes Bridge.

• A spectacular laser light show lit up the night sky in celebration, bringing joy, awe, and a little magic to all in attendance.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, LeChase, and to our supporting sponsors:

Thank You to Our Sponsor

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you to everyone who attended, donated, supported, and believed in the vision of a greener, more connected Rochester. Dinner on the Bridge is more than an event—it’s a movement.

Let’s keep building, planting, and dreaming—together.
