Rochester Area CrimeStoppers, Inc., will host its annual all-day Community Challenge Phone-a-thon fundraiser this Thursday, November 3.

The event will take place at the Public Safety Training Facility at 1190 Scottsville Road in Rochester.
Celebrity Phone Lines will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 585-271-1660. Donations are tax-deductible and can also be made at any time before, during or after the event via the CrimeStoppers website at www.roccrimestoppers.com

The event will be covered live throughout the day by 13WHAMTV/CW16. Media personality Bob Lonsberry will dedicate his broadcast in
support of CrimeStoppers and encourage donors to call the Pledge Line at 585-271-1660.
