Join Twin Cities R!SE for our biggest fundraising event of the year – the R!SE to the Occasion Gala! Each year, we help thousands of individuals become empowered and employed, providing a pathway to R!SE from generational poverty to financial prosperity. Come celebrate breaking down barriers, and Building Brighter Futures. Whether you’ll be an attendee, sponsor, or supporter from afar, you’ll realize this year’s theme is more than just a tagline – it’s the foundation of what we do.
