The Rise launched the Players with Purpose program to connect fans and causes. For the remaining home matches, fans can buy tickets through player-specific links, with $5 from each ticket supporting that player’s chosen non-profit organization.

The Rise offer donations such as match tickets and autographed memorabilia to local charities and events to assist in the building of the West Michigan community.

The Rise Mom of the Month program honors moms who make a difference. Each month, we recognize and award a mom who brings encouragement, positivity, and heart to every match, practice, and moment of support.
