Local Associations Receive Over $10,000 in Grants to Improve Rochester Sports Facilities

20th Annual Rochester Sports Banquet Honors 2025 Awardees

The 20th Anniversary Rochester Sports Banquet, held on Sunday, February 1, was a landmark occasion celebrating local sports excellence and community impact. The event, an annual tradition since 2005, brought together players, coaches, families, and community leaders to honor the top performances of the 2025 season. Beyond the individual accolades, the foundation continued its core mission: supporting and advancing the infrastructure of local sports facilities.

"The banquet is our moment to pause and appreciate the immense talent and dedication within our local sports community," said Chris Terry, President of the Rochester Sports Foundation. "But we are also incredibly proud that this celebration acts as an engine to improve the very facilities these athletes play on."
