Every September 12th, our community comes together for one unforgettable night.
On the surface, Lucky 13 is an anniversary celebration filled with live music, storytelling, local businesses, community organizations, and people from all walks of life. But behind every ticket purchased, every share, every sponsorship, and every volunteer is something much bigger.
Lucky 13 helps make another year of RISE TOGETHER possible.
For more than a decade, RISE TOGETHER has been working alongside schools, families, and communities to decrease youth substance use and strengthen mental health through the power of connection and lived experience. Throughout the year, our team facilitates school assemblies, peer-led storytelling experiences, adult trainings, community events, RISE Hangouts, and prevention initiatives that help young people feel seen, heard, and supported before they reach a crisis.
Lucky 13 is our opportunity to celebrate that work while investing in what’s next.
This year’s event will feature legendary hip-hop group ONYX, Wisconsin artist @IAMKEAG, and spoken word poet Keziah Love, creating an evening that blends music, storytelling, and community in a way that reflects the heart of RISE TOGETHER.
Guests can also enjoy local food, handcrafted mocktails, a silent auction featuring exclusive items donated by local businesses and community organizations, interactive experiences, and opportunities to connect with people who are making a difference throughout Northeast Wisconsin.
Every dollar raised helps support RISE TOGETHER’s year-round programming, including youth mental health initiatives, substance use prevention, educator training, community events, and RISE Hangouts.
Whether you’ve been part of our journey for years or this is your first introduction to RISE TOGETHER, we invite you to join us for a night that celebrates the power of community and reminds us that none of us has to do life alone.
