About Us

Rise and Thrive was founded by brothers Derrick and Anthony Day. The two brothers were moved to action by an article that their mother shared with them. Derrick said, “I want to help, but what can I do…I’m just a kid?” After they talked with their family for awhile they realized that it was a lot they could do.
