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.
Up2Us Sports launched a Lunch & Learn Series for our She Changes the Game initiative in order to educate sports-based youth development programs about diversifying recruitment strategies, the importance and benefits of having women staff and coaches, and the progress we’ve made in advancing opportunities for women and girls in sport.
