World Record Loading…

On September 1st, 2024, iRiseU Founder Branden Hines attempted to set a new World Record for the most Muscle-Ups done in 24 hours. Our initiative is rooted in the power of positive habits, and what better way to demonstrate that power than by performing a feat never before seen on Earth? With this attempt, iRiseU raised over $5,000 that was used to start a Student Welfare Fund. The fund will go towards things like school essentials, scholarships, as well as incentives for under-privileged students to increase engagement during school, and much more. The current record is 1,300 reps in 24 hours or less; and Branden managed to complete just under 900 in 15 hours before being unable to get even one more rep. Of course, failure is a necessary part of success, and Branden will be back to try again in 2025. If you would like to donate or share our journey with friends and family; please use the link above.

What do we do?

  • Young people sitting on the floor during a classroom session, one with their arm raised.

    School Seminars

    High energy, higher impact assembly-style engagements. World-Class Youth Engagement Specialists deliver a once in a lifetime experience for groups of students up to 3,000. With an emphasis on forming positive habits, these engagements are intended to teach students science-based methods to reach their goals both in, and beyond the classroom in a fun and engaging way. Your donation will help to pay our speakers a fair wage, as well as cover giveaways and other incentives that encorage student engagement.

  • Two young men smiling and shaking hands at a conference, one in a white shirt with a conference badge, and the other in a yellow shirt with a conference badge, standing in front of colorful curtains.

    Scholarships

    The cost of attending college shows no signs of decreasing. Many students find themselves feeling stressed about finances when they think about continuing their education after high school. Your donation will enable a young person to obtain their college degree.

  • A young man with curly black hair sitting at a gaming setup with a monitor, red-lit keyboard, and mouse. There is a neon sign on the wall that reads "THE WORLD IS YOURS" in pink and yellow colors. The young man is smiling and sitting in a black and red gaming chair.

    At Home Study Spaces

    There are many students that find themselves without a space at home dedicated to their education. The right environment is critical in order to stimulate learning, and without it can make learning nearly impossible. Your donation will give an underprivileged student a space they are comfortable in at home that is dedicated to their education and future.

  • Black spiral-bound booklet titled 'IRISE Socratic Seminar Guidebook' with white text and a logo, placed on a white surface with a light source illuminating it.

    School Necessities

    Pencils, notebooks, binders, calculators, etc... For families in a tough financial situation, the price of these things can add up. Your donation will provide basic school supplies to students and families that need them the most.
