An Unforgettable Night: The 30th Annual Penfield Croquet Ball

What an incredible celebration! The 30th Annual Penfield Croquet Ball brought together our community in the most special way. With perfect weather, record-breaking attendance, and even a bagpipe-led croquet match kickoff, the evening was nothing short of magical. Together, we raised over $650,000 to support the children and families of Penfield! 💙

A Night of Gratitude 

This milestone event would not have been possible without the leadership of our Event Chair, Phyllis King, and the generosity of Gavin and Terry Hattersley. Their support, along with the dedication of our incredible Penfield staff and volunteers, made this 30th anniversary celebration one to remember.
