General Giving

Your gift to Rising Above Ministries helps us meet the greatest needs of the ministry and serve special-needs families through support, encouragement, inspiration, and community. General donations provide the flexibility to sustain programs, resources, and outreach efforts that make a lasting impact in the lives of families we serve. Every gift helps us continue sharing hope and demonstrating God's love to those navigating the special-needs journey.

Base Camp

Base Camp provides a place of encouragement and renewal for dads raising children or caring for loved ones with disabilities. This weekend retreat gives fathers the opportunity to step away from the daily demands of caregiving, connect with other dads who understand their journey, and return home refreshed and strengthened. Your gift helps provide lodging, meals, activities, and resources that make this life-changing experience possible. Through your generosity, these dads are reminded that they are not alone and that their dedication to their families is seen, valued, and supported.

Heroes’ Ball

Heroes’ Ball is a special evening dedicated to honoring individuals with special needs and the families who walk alongside them every day. This joyful celebration brings families together for a memorable night of dinner, dancing, and recognition, reminding them that they are valued, loved, and celebrated by their community. Because of generous donors and sponsors, this event is provided free of charge to special needs individuals and their immediate families throughout the Upper Cumberland area. Your gift helps create an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, connection, and honor for the true heroes among us.

Because of your generous support, we are able to share the love & hope we find in Christ with families impacted by special-needs & disabilities.
