We RISE
so Connecticut
can SHINE!

Welcome to Rise and Shine Connecticut! We're 96.5 TIC morning hosts Christine and Salt and we're the ones who started this amazing organization. We wanted to create something special—a way we could provide unwavering support and valuable assistance to children and families in need all across our state.

Our vision was simple: to make a real impact on the lives of those facing tough times and be there to lend a helping hand when they needed it most. We know that everyone's needs are different, from sudden emergencies to ongoing struggles.

At Rise and Shine Connecticut, we're lucky to have an incredible team of caring individuals who share our passion for making a difference. We truly believe that every child and family deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of the challenges they face.

Compassion, empathy, and integrity are at the core of everything we do. We approach every situation with genuine empathy, taking the time to understand the unique circumstances and challenges faced by each person and family we encounter.

But you know what makes our work even more powerful? It's the collaboration and partnerships we have. We team up with local communities, businesses, and organizations to amplify our impact. By working together with like-minded individuals and groups, we create a strong support network that can make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.

And let's not forget about our incredible end-of-year Christmas giving program called "5000 Toys for Girls and Boys." During the holiday season, we rally the community by going on air on 96.5 TIC to ask for help collecting  5000 toys for children in need. It's a truly magical time where we all come together—generous individuals, businesses, and organizations—to bring joy and smiles to the faces of kids throughout Connecticut.

Now, we want to invite you to join us on this incredible mission! You can get involved by making a donation or simply spreading the word about what we do. Together, we can create a meaningful impact and inspire positive change in our community.

We're thrilled that you've stopped by Rise and Shine Connecticut. Your interest and support mean the world to us as we continue working towards a brighter future for children and families. Let's rise above challenges and shine a light of hope together!
