News from the Webster Chamber of Commerce

9 Mar

A couple of events from my friends at the Webster Chamber of Commerce today.

The first is the announcement about their next Eat, Drink & Connect event. These networking events are great opportunities to develop current business connections and start new ones. They’re also a chance for Chamber visitors to socialize with Webster Chamber members and find out more about the organization.

Normally, these occasions are hosted by one Webster Chamber member, but this month the Chamber is adding a twist and making it a co-chamber event.

On March 13 from 5:30 to 7 p.m., the Webster and Brighton Chambers of Commerce will be hosting a joint event at the Preservation Beer Company in Fairport. The featured speakers will be from LifeWave. LifeWave Directors Kendall Welden and Sarah Robinson will present information about their wearable patches for health and wellness. 

There’s no fee for Chamber members to attend; the guest and visitor fee is $10. All attendees must pre-register

This second note is from Webster Chamber member Embrace Your Sisters, a Canandaigua-based organization dedicated to providing emergency financial support for people with breast cancer. The organization covers 13 counties, and more than $600,000 has been distributed to date.

In the past, Webster residents have supported — and received financial support from — Embrace Your Sisters, so I’d like to share this information about one of their upcoming events, the 18th annual Tea at Two Fashion Show on May 4.

Here’s the press release I received:

Public Preparation for 18th Annual Embrace Your Sisters Tea At Two Fashion Show Fundraiser

Save-the-date for the 18th annual Embrace Your Sisters (EYS) Fashion Show Fundraiser on May 4, 2025, at 2 p.m. (doors open at 12:30 p.m.). Once again, the show will be held at Casa Larga Vineyards & Winery in Fairport. 

The Fashion Show is one of two annual events which are coordinated by the volunteer EYS Board members to raise money in support of breast cancer patients, with short-term emergency funding, across Monroe County and the neighboring 12 counties. Over the past 19 years of EYS, they have distributed over $600,000! Embrace Your Sisters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, EIN: 80-0277604.

Currently, the public is being offered the opportunity to join in on the community support and earn visibility. Sponsorships, Program Ads, and donated products and services for the Silent Auction are all ways to participate. The deadline to participate in any of these ways is March 21.

Plus, your attendance at the 2025 Embrace Your Sisters Tea At Two Fashion Show Fundraiser will be very appreciated. A critical mass of attendees makes the silent auction, liquor and wine pull in handcrafted bags, jewelry, music, appetizers, desserts, beverages, speakers, and of course, the runway fashions, even more enjoyable! Click here to buy your ticket or a table of 10.

If your loved one, friend, or colleague has been challenged with a breast cancer diagnosis, please tell them about Embrace Your Sisters. To read more about the Tea At Two Fashion Show and express your interest, click here.
