Support World Refugee Day in Rochester

Dear Friend,

Every year on June 15th, we come together to mark World Refugee Day – a day dedicated to honoring the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees. This special day not only acknowledges the immense challenges refugees face but also celebrates the rich cultural diversity they bring to our community here in Rochester. This year, the celebration will take place at the Rochester International Academy, 1 Edgerton Park, from 10 AM to 2 PM. It's a chance for us to show our solidarity and support for the refugee communities that enrich our city's cultural landscape.
