Removing Barriers. Creating Opportunities. Helping Youth R.I.S.E.

R.I.S.E. — Reaching Innovation, Success & Empowerment — was created from a simple belief: every child deserves the opportunity to participate, grow, and pursue what they love without finances standing in the way. Families know firsthand how quickly the costs of sports, dance, cheer, academics, music, and other enrichment activities can add up. Registration fees, uniforms, equipment, travel, lessons, and competition expenses can place significant financial pressure on families—and sometimes force parents to make difficult choices about the opportunities they can provide for their children. R.I.S.E. was created to help change that. As a program of Infinite Athletics Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, R.I.S.E. brings families, volunteers, community partners, and event venues together through organized fundraising opportunities. By volunteering at fairs, stadiums, community events, concessions, and other approved venues, participating families can help raise funds toward their children's activities while contributing to successful events in their communities. But R.I.S.E. is about more than fundraising. It is about families supporting families, communities creating opportunities, and partnerships making an impact. Our goal is to help ensure that financial barriers do not become the reason a child has to step away from an opportunity that helps them learn, grow, build confidence, discover their talents, or pursue their dreams. Because when communities come together, our kids don't just participate—they R.I.S.E.
