Join us for an unforgettable evening of elegance, empowerment, and entertainment as RISE Memphis celebrates 25 years of transforming lives and building financial freedom across our community. The Together We RISE Gala presented by Wells Fargo is more than just a celebration—it’s a movement that honors the resilience and growth of the individuals and families we serve.
This year’s event will feature an electrifying lineup of live performances, including the soulful stylings of Tonya Renee Dyson, the magnetic energy of Doll McCoy, the reggae-funk fusion of The Chinese Connection Dub Embassy, and the smooth sounds of Saxophonist Antonio Hobson. Whether you're grooving on the dance floor or soaking up the sounds from your seat, this is a night of music you won’t want to miss.
Guests will enjoy:
🎶 Live Music & Performances – A rotating lineup of Memphis’ most talented artists will keep the vibes high and the energy flowing all evening.
🍷 Sip, Swirl & Support Wine & Spirits Pull – Our ever-popular wine and spirits pull returns! For a set donation, guests can select a mystery bottle of wine or liquor—some worth far more than the price to play. It’s a fun and festive way to support RISE.
🎁 Silent Auction – Bid on an array of curated items, experiences, and local treasures during our silent auction. Every winning bid helps fund RISE’s mission to promote financial literacy, asset-building, and self-sufficiency.
🛵 MyCityRides Scooter Raffle – One lucky attendee will ride away in style! Enter for your chance to win a Jet 14 scooter package valued at over $10,000—complete with 3 years of maintenance, liability insurance, safety gear, and more. All proceeds from the raffle support our life-changing programs.

Whether you're a long-time supporter or new to the mission, the Together We RISE Gala promises a night of inspiration, connection, and celebration. Proceeds from the evening directly benefit RISE’s programs that empower youth, adults, and seniors to build and sustain human and financial assets.

Come for the cause. Stay for the celebration.
Let’s raise a glass—and some funds—as we toast to 25 years of impact and a future full of possibility.
