Join us for Rising Higher Santa Cruz! This special event takes place Friday, November 3rd, 4pm to 6:30pm. The Hotel Paradox is undergoing a remodel and will be ultra swanky just in time for our event!
Rising Higher is a fundraiser to support the economic and social empowerment of survivor entrepreneurs. We believe people who have experienced marginalization and oppression are the most qualified to end it. That’s why we’re uplifting and investing in lived experience leaders.
Rising Entrepreneurs are survivors of discrimination, homelessness, human trafficking, gender-based violence, and war. From Sudan to Santa Cruz Rising Entrepreneurs are creating reciprocal models of economic justice that shape equitable futures for all.
Coming from outside the area? Stay the night or weekend in gorgeous Santa Cruz! Hotel Paradox is offering special room rates to Rising Higher attendees. You will need to book by October 3rd to qualify. Here's the link: Book Your Group Rate for Rising Worldwide
