❤️ COMMUNITY IMPACT

See below

The RISE 2026 Awards Ceremony & Shoebox Packing Party was a wonderful celebration of service, community, and giving.

We were honored to welcome the Mayor of Dublin and a representative from the Alameda County Fair, who joined us in recognizing our outstanding youth volunteers and celebrating their dedication, service, and growth.

A heartfelt thank-you to all the parents, volunteers, and organizers who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible. From event planning and venue setup to award preparation, purchasing gifts and supplies, shoebox packing, and on-site coordination, every contribution made a difference.

We are especially grateful to all the families and friends who generously donated. Through everyone’s collective effort, simple gifts became shoeboxes filled with care, hope, and warm wishes for children in need.

At RISE, community service is about more than helping others. It gives young people the opportunity to practice gratitude through giving, develop responsibility through service, and build friendships and confidence through teamwork. 🌱

Together, we rise. Together, we make a difference!
