Exciting News from Level Up:
Introducing the “Up” Non Profit Foundation
Exciting News from Level Up: Hi All,
We are excited to share a major milestone in the growth of our Level Up community: the official launch of Up, our new nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation dedicated to empowering youth through basketball and community engagement.
Our Mission
Through the power of basketball, Up teaches life lessons that extend far beyond the court—goal setting, teamwork, responsibility, inclusion, and leadership. By removing barriers, we create opportunities for young athletes to pursue their basketball dreams.
By providing mentorship, educational assistance, and scholarships, we help young athletes learn, grow, and build confidence. With the support of our families and partners, we aspire to strengthen communities and create brighter futures.
We plan to bring this vision to life by offering college preparation guidance, providing access to internships and academic tutoring, refurbishing basketball courts in underserved communities, and hosting free basketball clinics open to athletes of all skill levels.
To kick off this mission, we are thrilled to announce our First Annual Up Golf Outing on June 8, 2026, at Pine Hollow Club. This event will bring our community together for a day of fun, connection, and meaningful impact in support of the youth who need it most. Registration and sponsorship details will be shared soon.
Thank you for being part of this journey and helping us create life-changing opportunities. Together, we are leveling up the game and the future.
Warm regards,
Jesse Winter & The Level Up Family
