#GivingTuesday

Tuesday, December 3, All day
RISE, 58-03 Rockaway Beach Boulevard

It will be RISE's twentieth anniversary in 2025, and we want to thank you for being a part of the movement: Rockaway Initiative for Sustainability and Equity. Take a look at these beautiful faces. They are the reason we have our heels dug in to the ground, to make sure that the ocean, the sand, the sky, the wildlife, and even the not-so-wildlife are accessible to them as a playground and a learning field. Please donate to keep our mission going and thriving.
