Friend-Raiser at The Bull Moose

The Bull Moose has graciously selected RISE to be their nonprofit beneficiary of their February Giving Cocktail and mocktail!

Each month The Bull Mose selects one nonprofit and donates one dollar for each Giving Cocktail (and mocktail) sold. Dollars raised on RISE’s behalf are used to provide the financial foundation for all the work we do to serve our mission to break the generational cycles of incarceration.
