The Up2Us Sports Sneaker Ball is our most significant fundraiser of the year, celebrating the remarkable Up2Us Sports coaches and honorees who are advancing mentorship and altering the trajectory of at-risk youth's lives through sports.
Save the Date for our 10th Annual Gala on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. It will be held at Guastavino’s in New York City from 6:30pm-10:30pm ET. More details coming soon!
We hope you will read our latest Annual Report and we thank you for your support in helping us provide underserved youth with a coach who cares about them. This report covers our 2021-2022 program and fiscal year.
The Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health Innovation Awards—an initiative that aims to identify and fund mental healthcare solutions for children and young adults across the United States—honors a 2022 winner, Up2Us Sports.
Today, January 12th, 2023 is our 13th Anniversary, and we are expecting to have more impact in the year ahead than ever before. We will serve more kids, recruit more coaches, support more VISTAs (front office-based service members) and help more sports-based youth development programs across the country.
Each June during Pride Month, Up2Us Sports celebrates and elevates the valuable contributions of our LGBTQ+ coaches, VISTAs, youth, staff and the broader community. We reaffirm our commitment to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice.
At Up2Us Sports, we take pride in celebrating our coaches and their impact on and off the playing field. Our coaches have their own unique stories that inspire us all and our Coaches’ Corner gives us a chance to showcase just that. Today, we have the pleasure of meeting Jada Cooper who is serving at Harold Hunter Foundation in New York City.
