About Rise for Reason

Rise for Reason is a nonprofit student organization committed to pediatric cancer awareness and fundraising for pediatric cancer by engaging in student activism, education, and community outreach. We found this organization through participating in the Social Impact Leader of Tomorrow Challenge through our local DECA chapters.

Our participation led us to achieve second place at the International Career Development Conference. After the competition ended, we realized we gained a true love for the cause, which led us to where we are today. We believe that kids are capable of creating big change in the lives of pediatric cancer patients and families.

It is our mission to showcase the voices of children in the campaign against pediatric cancer by hosting inspirational events, focusing on awareness campaigns, and building effective community partnerships. Whether grand fundraising events like our annual Rise and Drive Charity Golf Tournament or advocacy through our podcast and regional events, all that we do is inspired by our mission, action, and compassion.

We are dedicated to funding research, educating about early detection, and advocating for the children and families who most need it. With heart, hustle, and a reason to rise, we believe we can create a world where no child must fight cancer by themselves.

Together, we Rise… for a Reason.
