ROC The Day 2021

This year, Genesee Country Village & Museum (GCV&M), The Landmark Society of Western New York, and Rochester Housing Development Fund Corporation are celebrating ROC the Day with a series of virtual events. Our nonprofit organizations play a unique role in preserving our region’s diverse housing stock while creating other critical community impacts.

On three Mondays in November, each organization will host a virtual tour followed by a short trivia challenge and raffle! Registering and attending each tour gets you two raffle entries per event. Prizes include gift cards for Mayer Hardware, Happy Earth Tea, and Living Roots Wine & Co.; a family membership, tickets, and guidebook to GCV&M; tickets to an upcoming Landmark House & Garden Tour, and more!    

Make it a happy hour! Living Roots is offering 10% off bottles of wine from November 10th-29th, so you can grab a bottle to go and enjoy it during the virtual tours.

What is ROC the Day?

ROC the Day is a 24-hour, online event that gives people in our community an opportunity to support all of the not-for-profit organizations doing great work in the nine-county Greater Rochester area. People will visit ROCtheDay.org, a secure online giving platform, to make a gift. All ROC the Day gifts will help local people and organizations.
