A Chair Affair 2026 awaits you with live music, captivating entertainment, surprises, and delights. An auction to awaken your desires, and of course, the gala's namesake, artisan-made chairs.
We have a chair for you at A Chair Affair 2026 on Saturday, February 28. Widely regarded as the city's most prestigious black-tie social event, selling out over 400 tickets each year, A Chair Affair has raised millions of dollars for Rochester youth in need.
Boys & Girls Club of Rochester's mission is to empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring community members. Boys & Girls Clubs provide transformational experiences and opportunities for kids and teens by restoring the foundational tenets of equity and opportunity, a belief that all young people deserve an equal shot at success.
Step into an unforgettable evening as you enter the beautifully transformed cocktail reception and silent auction. Expect moody lighting, artful décor, and captivating themed entertainment that sets the tone for the night. Enjoy craft cocktails, elegant hors d’oeuvres, and playful surprises as you explore our curated silent auction filled with one-of-a-kind artisan-made chairs and luxury packages.
Don’t forget to capture the moment at our immersive photo experience with friends, family, and colleagues as the energy of the night begins to build.
