 WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!

Dear Upward Coaches, Referees and Volunteers, 

As we come to the closing of our sixth year of Upward, we want to say Thank you for a job well done. Thank you for the time that you have given to the Upward Ministry to change children’s lives for Christ. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made to make a difference in the life of a child, a family, a church, a community and someone you don’t even know. All the time you have given is greatly appreciated and has not gone unnoticed. You helped make this Upward Ministry a success by all that you have done. You have not only taught children the game of basketball or the sport of cheerleading but you have shown these children the love of Christ and taught them the qualities they need to be successful in life. The seeds have been planted for the future and decisions have been made for Christ - you have helped do this. So we again say thank you, “job well done you good and faithful servant.” 

Love in Christ,
The Upward Staff

WHY UPWARD?

In Upward Basketball, EVERY CHILD IS A WINNER. This season, you will participate in a league that will redefine the word winner. Today’s sports culture has created a “win at all cost” mentality. However, Upward defines winning as learning and/or teaching lessons in the game of life. The purpose of Upward Basketball is to fulfill God’s vision that he planned long ago by promoting: 

Salvation - To share the love of Jesus Christ with everyone involved in an Upward ministry

Character - To help every child grow as Jesus did – spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially

Self-Esteem - To help every child grow in their understanding and enjoyment of sports  © 2006 Upward Unlimited.
