ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

At The U.P Foundation, our mission is simple: To create free, screen-free experiences that bring people together and support a healthier, more connected lifestyle. 

In a world where screens often replace real interaction, we're committed to offering activities that encourage movement, creativity, and meaningful human connection. Our programs are built for everyone - families, youth, and individuals looking for uplifting opportunities to engage with their community. 

​

Together, we are creating spaces where people can grow, feel supported, and enjoy real moments of connection.

OUR MISSION

The U.P. (Unleashing Potential) Foundation fosters the spark within everyone - the confidence to try, the resilience to fail, and the courage to connect. Through shared experiences, we break down social barriers, creating inclusive spaces where people of all backgrounds can struggle, triumph, and forge the unbreakable bonds of a stronger community.
