Shine for Rise

Presented by American Campus Communities 

The 2022 Rise Fundraiser, Shine for Rise (formerly known as Travel the Vine) took place on November 3, 2022, at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center. We are beyond grateful to our sponsors, donors, guests, committee, vendors, and volunteers for making  Shine for Rise a big success! Over $650,000 net was raised by generous donors for The Rise School of Austin at this entertaining event.

It was an impactful evening supporting children of all abilities with over 250 attendees. The evening kicked off with a cocktail hour featuring live music from Band of Bandits, a wine toss, a photo booth, and a live auction on the patio. Guests then moved into the ballroom for a three-course dinner and program which included speakers from the Rise school, an impact video, and a live auction. 

All proceeds benefit The Rise School of Austin and enable us to fulfill our mission of providing the highest quality early education to children of all abilities in an inclusive environment.
