Rise events: Rise days are open to families with children with disabilities from ages 5 to 35. Check out the events calendar for information about the location of these events as we rotate.

We are partnering with Cedarhill Family Church in Durbanville to host Sunday services with Rise (April 16; August 13; October 15). Cedarhill is a disability-inclusive church and these services are for an intergenerational emphasis on including persons with disabilities in all areas of ministry. A fun family event follows each service.

This year, we are launching RISE Next, a social for teens and young adults with disabilities.
