Rising Lights Project: Changing Lives of Disabled Adults

We hope you'll join us this holiday season as a campaign champion for the Rising Lights Project. By creating your own personal fundraising page or making a gift to the campaign, you will help us keep our programs going strong in the new year.

Why support Rising Lights?

Did you know that 15,000 individuals in Kane County are affected by a disability? Rising Lights is here to help. We see the ability in disability. Our programs help young adults laugh, learn, thrive, and engage with their local community.

What do we do?

Cultivating Our Community Garden

Research shows that gardening has a therapeutic effect on people's lives. Our garden is a sanctuary for learning, laughter, and connection. Families come together to plant, nurture, and harvest, getting physical activity and gaining practical skills and knowledge.

Empowering Through Education and Support

Our educational programs offer life skills training, creative arts, and more. We empower individuals to discover their potential and embrace their unique abilities. The smiles and success of our participants are the true measure of our impact.

Caring for Caregivers

Parenting adult children with disabilities brings unique challenges. At Rising Lights we also provide support, community, and friendship for parents and caregivers.

Support Rising Lights!

Our work is only possible thanks to the unwavering support of people like you. Join our campaign and together, we will create a brighter, more inclusive future for all.

Warm regards,

Jaimie Valentini
Executive Director, Rising Lights Project
