Shine On – A “Virtual” Holiday Festival
For the past four years, RCS Empowers, Inc. has kicked off the season of cheer and giving with Shine On, a holiday festival many have come to love and support. Join in on the fun! This festive event includes great food, wine, touching stories about RCS participants and incredible online auction items!
Shine on 2021 is taking place virtually on Friday, November 12, 2021. Your participation in this event plays an important role in our mission to empower individuals with disabilities and special needs so they may work, live and function with dignity and respect. As our largest fundraiser of the year, support of this event allows us to enhance programming for our RCS participants.
A majority of funds raised from this year’s event will help us fill a pressing need to redesign our learning spaces. Providing our learning spaces with specialized and flexible educational classroom furniture will positively enhance the learning experience for all our participants. Updated classroom furniture will be modular, adaptive and ergonomically suitable while being comfortable.
