Be a Kid! Let's Be Together

Even as young people experience an era of heightened division and disconnection, they’ve shared with us the importance of being together in community and care. Being together is how we celebrate youth joy, culture, and brilliance. It is how we grieve, heal, create, organize, and reimagine what’s possible. We do this side by side.

This dynamic and interactive celebration invites us to tap back into play, joy, and imagination - reminding us what it means to “be a kid” so we can better understand, affirm, and stand alongside the experiences of our youth.

Last year, we welcomed over 300 adult allies who came together to tune in to the many frequencies young people navigate every day at RYSE.

Each ticket purchased includes:

• 1 meal, 1 signature drink
• RYSE-hosted activities
• Interactive games and competitions
• RYSE shwag
• An invitation to the dance floor
• and much much more!

Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!
