Now, more than ever, it’s time to Rise Together!

Join Elizabeth Freeman Center this September to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and advocate for a safer, fairer future for all.

Rise Together is Elizabeth Freeman Center’s biggest annual fundraiser and friendraiser — one part peer-to-peer donation campaign, six parts public show of support for survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our community.

How it works:

JOIN by using the links in the sidebar to visit our GiveLively page. You can register as an individual, join an existing team, or start a team of your own and recruit your friends!

New for 2025: Rise Together has moved to GiveLively’s fundraising platform! You can find detailed instructions on signing up, joining a team, and setting up your profile by clicking here (or click here for a printer-friendly version).

SHARE your fundraising page far and wide. Donations made on your page will count toward your total raised and earn you great prizes like tees and hoodies.*

Check out our Resources page for shareable graphics and printouts.

WALK with us at any or all of our six community walks, scheduled this September around Berkshire County. Be sure to bring friends – more bodies make a bigger statement!

*One prize per reward tier per participant. Rewards based on individual (personal) page fundraising totals ending 9/30/25.
