Join us at Rise Up's 15th Anniversary Gala


Join us on May 16 at The Pearl in San Francisco from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM to celebrate Rise Up’s 15th anniversary of creating lasting gender equity change!

We cannot wait to be together in person with you to reflect on our impact, build community, and take action toward a more equitable world for women, girls, and gender-nonconforming people.

Our Gala theme this year is “When We Lead.” Why? Because when we lead, women, girls, and allies are in charge. Together, we work to protect the things that matter most to us. There is so much at stake for women, girls, and gender-nonconforming people, and the time for our leadership is now. The right to access a quality education, make our own health care decisions, and pursue economic opportunity— it's all on the line this year.

Rise Up has been creating change for 15 years, and we need you with us. Are you ready to help us create a future where everyone can thrive?

Join us at this year's Gala to celebrate 15 years of transformational change and hear from visionary leaders making a global impact.
