Our Philanthropy Awardees

Please join us in congratulating the recipients of our 2005 Philanthropy Award. Year in and year out, each awardee contributes to the promise of greater Rochester. We recognize the many hours and consistent financial support our awardess share with organizations dedicated to the improvement of countless families in our region. If it were not for the encouragement it offers their peers, many of our awardees would stay behind the scenes, invisibly savoring the good works they have started, continued, or completed. We thank you for going public with your generosity. When you "Give where you Live.(sm)," you make a difference in the life of so many people: a toddler, a high school student, a family, a teacher, a patient, and many others you come to know.

The 2007 awards went to Vee and George Angle, Tom and Barbara Clark, V.J Stanley and Paul T. Rubert (Founder's Award). We also recognized Ibero-American Action League (The Ames-Amzalak Award).
