Thank you for who attended, supported and volunteered at the first Rising Star Outreach Gala honoring the Marriott family and their legacy of giving! It was a successful evening where old friends met and long-time supporters of Rising Star Outreach came together to accomplish the most spectacular evening imaginable! Together, $2 million was raised for our nonprofit organization!

Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would receive such generosity at our first-time Gala! From items sold for our leprosy-affected entrepreneurs to paddles being raised at every donation amount, the night gave a powerful statement of giving. We are overjoyed at the prospects of expansion for Rising Star Outreach, made possible through your support.

HONORING A LEGACY

Many members of the Marriott family have become some of Rising Star’s biggest supporters for over a decade.

They have sponsored children at our school, volunteered on expeditions in India, supported capital building projects, and provided yearly grants through their family foundations.

We were privileged to recognize their contributions and legacy as our 2020 Gala honorees.

Kristin Chenoweth! Tony and Emmy Award winner Kristin Chenoweth joined GENTRI on stage for the Rising Star Outreach Gala on Feb. 22, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“Our trip to India taught us many things, but perhaps the most important was that of the power and influence of “The One.” One organization that embodies this is Rising Star Outreach whose mission is ‘to lift those with leprosy.’

“Together with volunteers and a global staff, Rising Star seeks to provide medical care, education and opportunity to those suffering from this curable and treatable disease. Whether it’s volunteering with a global charity or making a difference in the life of someone next door, we challenge you to #BeTheOne wherever you live in helping to make this world a better place one good deed at a time.”
