Prepare for winter 2026
The Prepare For Winter Dinner is On The Rise’s annual fundraising event, a premier event in Cambridge with over 300 attendees, inspiring presentations, and a delicious dinner. The dinner raises over $250,000 of On The Rise’s annual budget, and is critical to keeping the doors open to people who have no place to go during cold winter days.
