ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Delphi Rise, one of the region's most established human services organizations, will celebrate its 90th Anniversary with A Night to Rise on Thursday, September 24, 2026, at Arbor Loft. The evening will honor nine decades of hope, healing, and community impact while raising support for programs serving individuals and families across Monroe and Wayne Counties.

For nearly a century, Delphi Rise has evolved alongside the communities it serves. Today, the organization serves more than 5,000 people each year through addiction treatment, mental health services, prevention, housing, reentry, care management, youth services, and basic needs support. Delphi Rise also operates Monroe County's only 24/7 Open Access Clinic, providing immediate access to care any time, day or night.

While the organization has changed considerably since 1936, its purpose has remained constant: to meet people with dignity and compassion, believe in their potential, and help them move toward recovery, stability, and greater possibility.

Held during National Recovery Month, A Night to Rise will celebrate Delphi Rise's 90-year legacy while honoring the courage and resilience of people whose lives have been changed through recovery, support, and hope.

Hosted by Norma Holland, the celebration will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Arbor Loft, 21 Lawrence Street in Rochester. The evening will feature remarks from community leaders, stories of resilience and recovery, a silent auction, heavy hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and mocktails.

"Ninety years is an extraordinary milestone, but what matters most is the thousands of lives behind those years," said Jennifer Cathy, President and CEO of Delphi Rise. "For 90 years, people have come to Delphi during some of the hardest moments of their lives and found people who believed in them. This night is about celebrating their courage, honoring the people and partners who have walked alongside them, and making sure that hope and help are here for the next person who needs us."

All proceeds from A Night to Rise will support Delphi Rise's programs and services across Monroe and Wayne Counties.
