We’ll be ready to welcome you, check you in, and serve you drinks and appetizers at 5:30pm at the Rochester International Event Center.

Take this time to connect with friends, bid on the silent auction, and purchase raffle tickets for one of our great raffle items.

Cocktail/Auction /Raffle Hour

The night will begin with a silent auction, raffle, and social hour. We will offer appetizers, a cash bar, music, a 360 photo booth, as well as a chance to take a formal photo and take it home with you.

All of these will end at 7pm, so plan to arrive with plenty of time to check in and bid on the items of your choice.

Dinner at 7pm/ Program to follow

At 6:45 we will start moving to our tables, and at 7pm dinner is served with the program starting shortly thereafter. The program will include a live panel moderated by our Executive Director George Beech, a keynote from Police Chief Jim Franklin and a live auction (check out the items in our lookbook link below) hosted by the always entertaining Christian Kolberg. There will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate our first responders.

Glad you asked! Checkout the lookbook below. It will be live by the 3rd of March and stay up until the night of the gala. By simply clicking in it (like turning the pages of a magazine) you can see all of our wonderful items and destinations.

This is a semi-formal event, so consider it a great excuse to dress up. However, if you are not someone who likes to get fancy, we get it, and we are not the dress code police (see what we did there?). If you want and idea or two, check out the pictures from last year on this page.

Yes we can. Well, technically Powers Ventures can…with enough notice.

If you are an attendee you should have received an email already to the email address on file with a link to register those needs. Now you know one reason we asked for your email..:)

If you did not receive the email, please send us a note at gala@saltandlightpartners.org.

We are happy to answer any questions you might have.
