Together We Rise

Rise Up Academy’s Annual Gala is more than just an evening out—it’s our biggest celebration and fundraiser of the year. For 26 years, this event has empowered young people, strengthened families, and fueled programs that break down barriers to education.

Proceeds from the Gala directly support scholarships, innovative classroom programs, and the arts at Rise Up Academy. Every dollar raised helps ensure that all children have the chance to start their educational journey on equal footing.

This will be an unforgettable night of community, celebration, and purpose—you won’t want to miss it!
