RISE Adaptive Sports

The mission in their own words

Community voices

Adaptive recreation is most accurately described by the people living it. These are a few of the voices that make RISE what it is.

Playing with the Rise Low Point Team Outlaws has been an incredible experience! Such a great group of players and staff along with Coach, Gabe Garcia. Great competitive rugby and getting to see and play with friends from all over the country can’t be beat! Thanks so much for having me along for the ride!

Just wanted to say thanks for everything you do for the team and for the RISE Rugby program. We had a great tournament this weekend taking 2nd place, in Philly and are all looking forward to nationals. Catrina is an absolute gem and we are especially grateful for her dedication and help with our equipment. Gabe is pretty awesome too! Not sure who else could bring together such a great and talented group of players. Appreciate all you are doing with RISE and for rugby. I believe Paul would be proud.

A thank-you from Maci and Evie

This trip was more than just hunting deer, it was about an opportunity to spend time with friends that I have a lot in common with. And I think we all left this trip with more confidence, learned more independence and left with a TON of amazing memories. My friends and I learned a lot and I feel very grateful for my new hunting skills.

Hunting

Thank you RISE and Cook Canyon Ranch for inviting me to come hunt. I got to shoot my first deer ever and had an experience I will never forget. This was one of the best weekends of my life, and I really appreciate it. Sincerely

Evie
