For 20 Years Rising testimonials have been a inspiration for us to continue working towards our philosophy, "If better is possible good can never be enough". Our programs began in 1980 as a small summer camp at Marist College. Ten years later that camp was considered the finest in America. Today that spirit continues as a non profit foundation that works with children throughout the year across the country, and around the world.

Rising Stars - Making the difference in the life of a child.

The best programs I've seen for kids anywhere in the world. Your presentation speaks a universal language that needs no translation.
It's amazing how thousands of kids that speak very little English and love to snowboard and ski can turn around in one day and be dribbling basketballs with such enthusiasm. There are no NBA pros that can do what you do!
