A Toast to The Arc
Join Us for A Toast to The Arc, The Arc of Monroe’s signature gala!

It’s an extraordinary evening of celebration and camaraderie that takes place at some of our city’s most notable venues, including 2026’s Hyatt Regency Rochester.
Start Your Own Fundraiser: Host a Third-Party Event to Support The Arc!
A third party event is an activity hosted by an outside party to raise money on behalf of an organization. Friends like you make it possible to transform the lives of people with disabilities, while strengthening awareness and respect for individual abilities. As The Arc of Monroe supporters, you can create a fundraising event and gather your friends to support The Arc’s mission. This drums up excitement, drives fundraising activity, and attracts new donors who correlate a fun, meaningful experience with The Arc!
Not only do fundraisers help bring in donations, but they also introduce an entirely new network of supporters to our cause. Guests who aren’t familiar with The Arc of Monroe donate to our mission, all the while partaking in a hands-on activity that creates positive associations with us!
