Corrine Smith, 103 (pictured), Vero Beach, Fla. passed away in March, 2023. Rise supported her daughter, Cosette who died in 2015, for many years. Corinne was extremely active and generous throughout the years. Her $920,000 estate bequest honoring Cosette is among the largest financial gifts we have ever received.

“The funds were directed to our general operations,” said Vice President of Advancement Noel McCormick. “We are so grateful Corrine trusted us to be good stewards and use the donation as needed. It allowed us to offset financial hardships related to the Covid-19 Pandemic while continuing to focus on growth, change and program innovations.”
