NogFest NogFest is the name of Progression’s 2nd largest FUNDRAISER of the year.  It will be held on Saturday, December 17th at 10am at Progression. During this open-to-anyone event, Progression members and their guests converge on the gym to complete a tough workout, share some holiday cheer (egg nog), and raise money for the Rochester Boys and Girls club.   Boys and Girls Club “empower[s] all young people…to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring community members”. Twenty-five percent of their annual revenue comes from donations, such as those made at Progression’s NogFest. Whether its serving meals, providing academic support, or helping to fund the local 3-on-3 basketball tournament, our donations go a LONG way in supporting the Rochester community youth who need it most. We look forward to seeing you on the 17th for NogFest. Bring a friend. Bring some cheer. Make a difference.Read more
