Join us for an unforgettable evening where purpose meets possibility. Night Under the Stars brings together our incredible community to celebrate the achievements of Rising Stars Academy students, and to invest in what comes next.

Benefitting Rising Stars Academy and the RSA Foundation, this event supports inclusive community and workforce development for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Your support fuels life-changing opportunities through hands-on vocational training, real-world job experiences, and meaningful community connection.

Funds raised will directly expand our impact, expanding our programs, renovating new spaces, purchasing essential equipment and adding vehicles to help us reach more students.

From HOME Hub, where adults build skills in culinary arts, retail and customer service, to Gather + Grounds—our café and wellness hub with locations in Center Line and Richmond—participants are gaining confidence, independence and purpose every day.

Enjoy a stunning evening featuring an inspiring student showcase, an unforgettable strolling dinner showcasing signature dishes from some of Metro Detroit's most celebrated restaurants, including Grey Ghost, Selden Standard, SheWolf Pastificio & Bar, Bar Medusa, Marrow Detroit, La Pecora Nera, Green Dot Stables, The Drunken Rooster, Little Caesars, Bubby's BBQ, Cacao Tree Café, Supino Pizzeria and Haney's Family Restaurant. The evening also includes an online silent auction open to supporters near and far. Together, we’re not just raising funds. We’re building brighter futures.
