Friend, thank you for joining us at Rise Up's 10th Anniversary Breakfast Gala to celebrate a decade of rising up with girls, women, and allies to lead change in their communities and beyond. We are humbled and grateful as we reflect on Wednesday’s powerful celebration. And with your generous support, we are looking ahead with excitement and determination to the transformative work to be done around the world, in 2020 and beyond.
At the event, we were moved by the powerful stories of Rise Up Leaders April Grayson and Aisha Cooper Bruce, who are daring to ask, "What if...?" in order to make change around the world. April and Aisha are part of Rise Up's growing network of visionary leaders who are driving exponential change from the ground up — this network is made possible by supporters like you.
With your generous support, we raised a phenomenal sum of $290,000 to fuel the work of Rise Up Leaders here in the U.S. and across the globe. We are thrilled and deeply grateful for this tremendous investment. And we are incredibly close to reaching our ambitious goal of raising $300,000. If you haven't had a chance to donate, please consider donating online today. Every gift makes a huge difference.
Thank you for rising up with and for girls and women around the world. Because of you, more girls and women will have the opportunity to thrive.
Our deepest thanks,
— Denise Raquel Dunning, PhD
