Hello friends! We've got exciting news to share. We have acquired three new parcels of land, crafted an innovative plan of operations, a much improved design, and with the support of our Architect Kash Boodjeh and ecological design partner RANA, have submitted our redesigned project to the Humboldt County Planning Department and are waiting for comments.

We can't wait to show you what's next for We Are Up. But we need your support to make these visions a reality. Partner with us at www.weareup.org Let's build local bridges and advance this much needed project together.

As the year comes closer to an end, we have some exciting news to share!

Our Matching Grant Opportunity:

Thanks to the generosity of four local supporters, We Are Up has received a record-breaking $60,000 matching grant, which will help us bring We Are Up to life. They will match every dollar donated to our cause, up to $60,000, before the year ends.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to double the value of your donation and to maximize your impact on our work. Whether you can give $100 or $1,000, your donation will make a difference and create ripple effects in our community.

Ambassador Table at the 2024 Spooktacular

Our recent Spooktacular event was an absolute hit. We are so humbled by the overwhelming turnout - we were sold out! This year, something phenomenal happened. Our supporters outdid themselves. With their dedication, we were able to double our donations from last year. This pledge of support to make a significant difference was truly inspiring.

Our mission at We Are Up is more than just a notion - it's a real action we take with love and affection. We believe in building a community that cares for each other, especially those with intellectual disabilities and our seniors. Seeing our ambassadors, volunteers, and supporters gathering to dine, dance, and donate was a clear manifestation of this vision.

Every contribution, every volunteer hour, and every social share is a step towards making our world more inclusive and supportive.

Your interest and support mean the world to us, and we'd love for you to become an even closer part of our family. Please consider joining us in our mission. Connect with us, contribute, or subscribe to our newsletter. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

The We Are Up Board of Directors and Volunteers
