Rise Awards 2024
Given the severe impact of the storm, we have made the decision to postpone the Rise Awards Luncheon.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the hurricane, and we truly hope you are faring well after such a difficult time. In light of the current conditions, we believe it’s best to delay the event to ensure that everyone has the time they need to recover and focus on safety. We are working diligently to finalize a new date, tentatively December 3rd, and will update you as soon as possible.
We deeply appreciate your understanding and continued support of LiFT. In the meantime, our thoughts remain with you as we work to regroup and plan for a brighter, safer day ahead.
