March 2026 Giving

Joy animates the Rising Kites Organization. They provide support for families new to the Down Syndrome Community by sending care bags across the country, and locally by employing folks with disabilities at Rising Kites Coffee Shop and Rising Kites Flowers. My niece, Danielle founded this venture with her husband Matt after the birth of their daughter, Sammie. After working in special education for 30 years, I’ve seen how meaningful support and work can transform an individual with disabilities. Rising Kites has built a huge community of joy and worth in just a few short years. Join me in supporting their continued growth!
