Mark your calendars for our agency’s largest signature event, the 31st Annual Cruisin' for a Cause - set to take place on Thursday, August 17, 2023! This fun, casual event hosts over 300 guests each year and will showcase a tasting trail featuring local wineries, breweries, and distilleries, complimentary beverages, a lively dance party, the tastes of summer, and fun ways to support The Arc Ontario. Volunteers are a critical part of the event and we are hoping to have as many enthusiastic volunteers as we can to help out this year! 

The event is 6:00 - 9:30 PM and is held at Sonnenberg Gardens, 250 Gibson Street, Canandaigua, NY 14424. Over 30 volunteers are needed to make this event a success. Volunteers are needed for set up, to be live auction and cash call spotters, sell Auction Board Squares, monitoring the tasting trail, operate iPads, and more.

If you are interested in volunteering or want to learn more about the event, please email Eden Thomas, Special Events Coordinator at ethomas@TheArcOntario.org. 

We ask volunteers to give at least an hour to an hour and a half of their time and are welcome to stay and enjoy the event after their shift(s), including a meal at the event. Volunteers are more than welcome to bring a friend to volunteer with them – please just let Eden know their name(s) and contact information so they can stay in the loop about developments pertaining to the event.
