The evening will feature remarks from community leaders and client speakers, a silent auction, cocktails, mocktails by AltBar, appetizers, and inspirational stories. Proceeds support Delphi Rise’s food pantry, housing programs, and our full continuum of prevention, recovery, and support services for individuals and families impacted by substance use and other social and mental health challenges.

WHY IT MATTERS: 

• September is National Recovery Month, a time to honor resilience and expand awareness of treatment and support. 

• Delphi Rise is approaching its 90th year of serving the Rochester community. 

• Overdose deaths have declined 24% nationwide—a fragile but hopeful sign that access to treatment and prevention is making a difference. 

• Delphi Rise operates Monroe County’s only 24/7 Open Access Clinic, a critical lifeline currently facing significant funding loss, making awareness and community support more urgent than ever.
