Volunteer 

Please join us for this important time of giving.

Due to the pandemic, this year we made the decision to pivot our Annual Fundraiser to a virtual month-long event. We are disappointed that we are unable to hold the originally planned in-person event scheduled for November 19th, but the health and safety of our community is more important.

Instead, we will be holding a month-long event to raise funds that will help us to continue this important work and to expand our outreach on the island.

We are asking for your support by sponsoring a table and inviting your guests to dinner in a safer, more intimate setting of 10 people — either in your own home or at MW Restaurant — and we will provide the food (gift cards will be included with your table sponsorship) and information about RYSE that you can share with your guests.

We are here to serve our youth, and with your help, we will be able to continue to support those most in need, and work to finally end youth homelessness in Hawaii.

Mahalo nui.
