Open Your Hearts Gala

March 2, 2019

The Event

We look forward to sharing an evening with you at the 7th Annual “Open Your Hearts” Dinner and Fundraiser. Last year, we had over 550 guests in attendance including numerous individuals from the amazing families that we serve. Further, because of individuals like you, we were able to raise over $300,000 in one night; with every dollar going to the families we serve! Help us reach our goal of exceeding the $325,000 mark this year!

Leave the winter behind and join us for an amazing evening as we honor our amazing IACKids at this year’s gala event. Here, you will have an opportunity to meet the families that you have helped through your generous contributions. We can’t wait to share the success of this past year with you as we look to even more growth in the years to come. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the families that are supported by IACKids. Help us work with more families and kids like these.

Auction Items

This year, we will again feature both live and silent auction items. There will be over 50 silent auction items including spa packages, sports memorabilia, dinner packages at Rochester’s finest restaurants, and more!

We plan on having many of our courageous and wonderful IACKids and their families in attendance. Their tables have been generously donated by our corporate sponsors. These families have lived the struggles of a child’s illness – help us to support their journey and to give them an evening that they deserve!

The 2019 Open Your Hearts Dinner & Fundraiser will take place at the Holiday Inn Rochester Downtown (formerly Rochester Plaza) on Saturday, March 2, 2019 at 6:00PM.
