Join us for 5 days of fun, worship, dynamic talks, and practical workshops.

Sponsors
Want to be a Rise Up sponsor?
As one of the largest gatherings of Catholic young adults in Canada, Rise Up is the best place for your ministry, community, organization or business to be. Rise Up attendees come to explore how they can best live out their relationship with Jesus and the vocation he has called them to. As a sponsor, you can help accompany them on this journey.
Sponsorship not only allows you to promote your community or organization with young Catholics, but it also enables CCO to offer a high-quality conference experience while helping reduce the cost for the student participants. Your sponsorship can change the hearts and minds of those who attend. You can help point them towards Jesus and his mission for them and help form Canada’s future leaders.
