OUR MISSION
RISE UP INC. is a non-profit organization that stresses the needs of today’s youth. Through our Program we strive to provide social, educational and recreational opportunities for children from diverse backgrounds so they may become contributing members of their families and communities. A major Program objective is our use of basketball. Through sports, we are able to reach children from all walks of life and help them achieve their goals and become responsible adults. Today’s youth face multiple risks in making decisions about their education, careers, health, and relationships with others, society is widespread with examples of actions that are detrimental to our youth. Increased effort by all youth serving organizations is needed to provide the positive choices that will allow our youth to grow up to be responsible citizens. Rise Up inc. has the ability to promote life skills that should provide our youth the chance to cope with the challenges that they will face in everyday life. |

"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill." |
