Cornerstone Bank invests in enriching experiences for youth in foster care

Cornerstone Bank has donated $3,000 to the Rise Above Foundation to support its 3rd Annual Rise Above & DCF Sibling Fall Fest in Northbridge. The event creates a meaningful opportunity for siblings separated within the Massachusetts foster care system to reunite in a warm, welcoming environment designed for connection and joy.

The Fall Fest brings foster care siblings together for a day of activities, play and shared moments that are often difficult to create due to placement changes and geographic separation. Rise Above’s mission is to provide children in foster care with enriching opportunities that help restore a sense of normalcy, build confidence and strengthen emotional well-being.

“Children in foster care deserve moments of joy, connection and belonging,” said Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman. “We’re proud to support an organization that ensures siblings can stay connected and continue building memories together, even during challenging transitions.”

By helping make the Fall Fest possible, Cornerstone Bank continues its commitment to uplifting local families and supporting partners that advance the wellbeing of children across Massachusetts. Cornerstone’s involvement reflects its broader community-first philosophy and belief in creating access to positive, formative experiences for all youth.
