The RYSE Youth Center will be hosting a Winter Wonderland event on Saturday, December 8 from 2-5pm. This community event will be held in celebration of our grand opening of RYSE OUTSYDE; a safe outdoor space built for our youth members to participate in a variety of performing arts and health and wellness activities including dancing, music performances, visual arts, sports, exercise and gardening.

RYSE’s Winter Wonderland event will be at no cost to our community members and will include a toy give-away (newborn to 14 years old), food, music, arts and crafts, tree decorating, snow machine, raffles, prizes and more!

The RYSE Youth Center is excited to partner with the Office of Supervisor John Gioia in hosting this event.

If you wish to participate, we kindly request that all donated toys be new/unopened, unwrapped and a minimum $10.00 value.
