Greater Rochester Awards to honor 20 for work in non-profit area

Fourteen individuals and six organizations are to be recognized at the 2015 Greater Rochester Awards for their contributions to the non-profit sector.

The event is presented by the Rochester Business Journal and the United Way of Greater Rochester Inc. and sponsored by Bank of America Corp.

Nominations were received in seven categories. Honorees have been selected in six of those categories and three finalists have been announced for the Bank of America Impact Award, presented to a program that has demonstrated measurable, positive results. The finalists are the summer social skills program of AutismUp, Foodlink’s curbside market program and Willow Domestic Violence Center.

The winner—slated to receive $10,000—is to be announced at a ceremony recognizing the finalists and honorees, to be held Oct. 27 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
