Inclusion Matters: Please Rise for Rennick!

Hi! Welcome to the Pliska family's personal fundraising page for The Rise School of Denver, a nonprofit high-quality inclusive preschool that supports young children with and without disabilities. If you've landed on this page, then you likely already know that our son Rennick was diagnosed with autism when he was 2 and a half. As parents, when your child receives a diagnosis such as ASD, you understandably have A LOT of emotions. While it's hard to articulate them all, the most prominent feeling we had was HOPE. And that's because Rennick was already at The Rise School, where he's been receiving integrated therapy and inclusive education and care since his first day as a toddler, even before his diagnosis. If you can spare two minutes, please watch this video to see for yourself how Rise makes a difference. This video features one of Rennick's best friends and classmates at Rise (and you'll see Rennick throughout the video too!)

To keep tuition accessible and affordable for all our families, tuition only covers 42% of Rise's operating costs. The remaining 58% is raised through grants and donations, which is why I'm sharing my personal fundraising page with you. Donations overall are down this year, and we need support more than ever. Will you donate to support the difference that Rise makes for our family and so many others?
