Empowering Futures: A Night of Hope for Rise Education
About this Event

Join us for the Rising Hope Gala: Empowering Futures - A Night of Inspiration for Rise Education. This special fundraising event aims to support our mission of providing essential economic and programmatic resources that enable all students, including those with disabilities, to participate in our immersive educational programs across the United States and around the globe.


Set against the historic backdrop of Lankford Auditorium, where the legendary Duke Ellington once performed, this gala will offer an elegant cocktail hour ambiance, allowing guests to mingle, socialize, and build meaningful connections.


The evening will feature exciting raffles, opportunities to engage with fellow supporters, and a shared commitment to empowering futures through education. We are thrilled to come together in a space rich with history, creating new memories and inspiring change for students everywhere. Join us as we work to make immersive education accessible for all!
