    breaking Ground for new addition to RISE

    10/15/2019

     
    RISE Center hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 17 for an addition that will house a state-of-the-art sensory suite that, pending board approval, will be named in honor of Mason Ray Garmany.
     
    When the project is complete, it will include an infant classroom, a multipurpose therapy room and a sensory room. The use of a multi-sensory environment in therapeutic and educational settings allows children to benefit from adequate stimulation to excite the brain, improve the organization of the brain and increase functional activity.
     
    “We are excited to see RISE Center evolve and meet the needs of the children in our community. We will be able to serve more children with the addition of a new classroom, provide state-of-the-art therapy in the new sensory room and be creative with additional therapy options in the multipurpose therapy room. The latest research in early intervention, child development and early childhood special education is guiding our decisions about what the children in our community need to reach their maximum potential. Thanks to our generous donors and supporters RISE will positively impact the lives of more children and their families in our community in new and exciting ways,” said Andi Gillen, director of the RISE Center.
     
    The new wing has been made possible by the generosity of a College of Human Environmental Sciences’ graduate, Dana Garmany. The Garmany family has developed an appreciation for RISE’s inclusive early childhood special education program. Garmany and his wife, Amanda, have a special needs grandson, Mason, for whom this addition is named. “The more I learned about RISE, the more I wanted to be involved. Having a special needs grandson made the donation even more rewarding,” said Garmany.

    3/26/2019

    Tuscaloosa, Alabama. . .The RISE Tournament of Champions benefiting The University of Alabama’s RISE Center will be held April 25-26 at NorthRiver Yacht Club, 3100 Yacht Club Way NE. The tournament is a four-person scramble, handicaps required, with shotgun starts at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. both days.

    The RISE Center, a part of the UA College of Human Environmental Sciences, serves children with disabilities and their typically developing peers. It’s nationally recognized program provides an early childhood education that enriches the lives of infants and preschoolers with and without special needs. RISE is also dedicated to excellence in service, research, and teaching. The preschool program not only benefits families in the community, it serves as a practicum and internship site for students from UA and other colleges.

    “RISE Center is the only RISE program in the country that does not charge tuition to children receiving its services. It’s the driving force behind our fundraising efforts,” said Andi Gillen, RISE director. The program is not an inexpensive one, it costs about $20,000 per child each year.  While it does receive funding from The University, an endowment, and contracts with local school systems, fundraisers like the golf tournament are crucial to the school’s success.

    Registration for the golf tournament starts at $2,500 for a four-person team. Morning and afternoon prizes like televisions, paddle boards and golf accessories will be awarded to the top four teams with the best gross and net scores. Golfers will also receive a gift upon check-in and lunch will be provided.

    Coach Nick Saban and other “champions” will be on hand for the event.

    For more information, or to register, contact RISE at 205/348-7931.

    In addition to the tournament, golfers and guests are invited to CHIP in for RISE from 6 to 9 p.m. on April 25 at the Yacht Club at NorthRiver. The event, which is open to the public, includes a silent auction and light refreshments. Former UA football coach Gene Stallings will be the special guest.

    The silent auction includes, among other items, Alabama memorabilia, artwork, and vacation packages.
    ​
    Tickets for CHIP in for RISE are $30 for individuals and $50 for couples and can be purchased at the door. Those registered for the golf tournament will receive one ticket to the event.

    RISE School 2016 Graduation

    8/18/2016

     
    The Rise School graduation ceremony was held on July 28, 2016 at The Stallings Center on the campus of The University of Alabama. The theme this year was "Movin' & Groovin' to Big School" with the children participating in a variety of musical numbers revolving around modes of transportation. The audience enjoyed watching the students perform to songs such as "I Get Around", "Magic Carpet Ride"and "Car Wash". Afterwards, guest speaker, Bryan Raschilla, told of his family's wonderful experiences with the RISE Program. He assured parents that this year's graduates were indeed ready for the challenges of kindergarten and beyond because of the dedication of the RISE teachers.

    The Laura Allison Harbin Award for Outstanding Achievement in the RISE Summer Teenage Volunteer Program was presented to Tana Early. The award was created in July 2001 after the Harbin family lost Allison instantly in a single-car accident in her sophomore year of high school. In Allison's words, "the kindness of one can have an effect on many". Her spirit lives on in the halls of RISE each summer as new volunteers continue her work.
    ​
    Andi Gillen, Director of the RISE School, presented diplomas to each student. A reception afterwards for the graduates and their friends and families was provided by the Alabama Power Service Organization.
