✨ Thank You ✨

We are humbled and grateful to the 160 donors who came together to raise over $30,000 in support of the George Rise Football Field at Jim Brown Stadium.

The Goshen Education Foundation is proud to lead this meaningful initiative, honoring not only the lasting legacy of George Rise, but also the impact the entire Rise family continues to have on our community and future generations.

This is more than a field—it’s a tribute, a memory, and a legacy that will inspire for years to come. ❤️🏈
