Each year, Twin Cities R!SE (TCR) brings together donors, corporate partners, and community leaders for its most significant fundraising event of the year. The R!SE to the Occasion Gala raises critical support for the work that helps individuals overcome barriers to employment and build lasting financial independence.
At TCR, transformation happens through Personal Empowerment, career training, coaching, and a commitment to meeting people where they are. Job seekers enter our programs ready to grow and often need help overcoming barriers that limit access to employment and economic stability. This year’s gala theme reflects that journey.
The Power to Bloom celebrates the steps individuals take at TCR to take root, build confidence, and move forward with purpose, while recognizing the partners that make that growth possible
