Welcome!

The year 2020 has proven to be a challenge for all of us in so many ways. I am proud to say that RiseBoro Community Partnership has met each challenge full on - No Matter the Odds.  Our work and impact is as critical as it has ever been. We hope you will join us for our celebration, see our impact, and hear from community leaders and residents on ways we are addressing current health and social injustices. We are grateful for your support of the RiseBoro 2020 Gala.  We promise a unique experience as we have created new ways to for attendees to connect to each other and our work!
