Donors were able to browse through a catalog of over 600 nonprofits and give to causes they care about in one, easy transaction.
ROC the Day, an initiative of United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes has made an incredible impact over its 14-year history. To date, this initiative has raised over $12 million to support nonprofits across the nine-county region.
