Shine for Rise

On Thursday, November 13, 2025, The Rise School of Austin welcomed nearly 300 guests to Brazos Hall for its annual Shine for Rise fundraiser, an evening celebrating community and support for inclusive early childhood education.

The event featured a lively cocktail hour with live music, magic, games, signature drinks, a photo booth, a silent auction, and a Purse & Clutch pop-up shop, followed by an energetic live auction led by The Cowboy Auctioneers. Guests were inspired by student-centered videos and a parent speaker who shared the impact of Rise’s mission, culminating in the symbolic “Light Up the Room” moment of collective support.

Proceeds benefit The Rise School of Austin’s inclusive classrooms, where children of all abilities learn and grow together while receiving the education and therapies needed for a strong start in life.

Thank you to everyone who supported Shine for Rise!
