Thank you for deciding to be a part of STRIVE Rocks All Night!
STRIVE Rocks is an event that our whole community looks forward to and this year is no different. We’re excited to announce that STRIVE Rocks will be back in person where it all began, the Sullivan Gym at the University of Southern Maine (Portland Campus)!
STRIVE Rocks 2025 will take place Friday, May 16th-Saturday, May 17th. We'll have everything you loved about past in-person events -- bands, theme hours, games & activities, prizes, and of course...dancing! PLUS, this year we're going to have some new entertainment and activities throughout the night...stay tuned to hear what some of them will be! Whether you are returning or a new recruit, we are glad to have you as we gear up to make a difference in the lives of over 1,400 young adults with intellectual disabilities from across our communities.
Being up for nearly 12 hours and may seem like a big job, but don’t think you’re alone! When May 16th rolls around, you’ll be joined by peers who are enjoying the experience with you. The funds you raise will help STRIVE provide educational and social opportunities for our members. We strongly encourage you to visit a STRIVE Friday Night Social Event, or another of STRIVE’s many programs/events, so that you may see the direct impact of your efforts.
Want to get involved in the fun? All you'll need to do is fundraise a minimum of $75 to participate! We also have other incentives if you’d like to continue your
fundraising!
• Raise $100 or more and you'll get a STRIVE Rocks T-Shirt!
• Raise $250, $500 or $1,000 (or more), to become a STRIVE Rocks All Star/VIP/MVP and get even more special STRIVE gear!
On behalf of the entire STRIVE Rocks Committee, we hope that you are just as excited about STRIVE Rocks 2025 as we are. Together, we can make this the best year for STRIVE yet! We’re here to help you every step of the way.
Take a look at our 2025 theme hours!
