Less than a week!

Yes, less than a week until Thursday September 22, at 8PM when we put on our party pants and head over to Billy Club on Allen for “Give Cancer The Bird!”

Wild Turkey is bringing over some of their best Bourbon and Rye, and that means specialty cocktails prices are down to $8, and $1 from each sold will go to Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Bring your friends, make new ones, and have a blast with Rise and the team behind Billy Club. This is their final week as sponsors of Feature Friday, giving away $25 to the top photo for three weeks in a row.

Cheers, Colin!

Check out the quiet beauty of @colin-patrick‘s angles and edits. Every week he’s wowing us with his captures and his wedding work. Great job! Email hey@risecollaborative.com to find out how to pick up your Billy Club gift card!

Buy Halloween Tickets Locally!

October 29th’s two-floor party is $45 for four hours of open bar, a buffet, a rock show downstairs and a dance party upstairs. Now, in addition to being able to buy online, you can stop at Record Theatre near Canisius College, Record Theatre near UB South or After Dark Entertainment on Elmwood for tickets with a lower fee than online. How about THAT! Support so many local businesses, bands, and DJ’s at once.

No Boundaries needs a boost!

Have you read about our upcoming newspaper, No Boundaries? Probably. We’ll be covering the underreported areas of the city, highlighting positive changes and ideas. We’ve received many sponsor dollars from local small businesses who want to get on board, and we’re oh so close to our fundraising goal. For $25, you can see your name in the masthead. Contact us for more information: hey@risecollaborative.com

Apparel is back – presale orders just in time for Halloween!

The Skyline Skull is back and looking better than ever on American Apparel. Check out product descriptions for materials and sizing. These shirts are available presale only which means you’ve got until September 30 to order, then we put in our order to print and get them out to you in time for Halloween!

And finally, all the other photos over which we drooled all week:
