“Their work reflects the very best of Englewood—neighbors coming together to create fun, inclusive events for everyone.”

“From Fourth of July celebrations and Homecoming Food Trucks to Trunk and Treat and the Holiday Trail, these events promote civic pride. They are created and executed by volunteers, powered by heart. Our community has welcomed these much-needed events with open arms and tremendous support.”

“The RISE organization is growing and expanding, creating fun and community energizing events that have been well supported by residents. I have enjoyed working with RISE on past events and look forward to working with them and supporting this important organization within the city on future activities.“

“As a parent and community member, I’ve also enjoyed the broader events that RISE brings to the area, such as the Fourth of July Bash and the Englewood Holiday Trail. My own children look forward to these experiences each year.  They’ve become traditions that not only create family memories but also build a stronger sense of belonging in our community.”
