Up2Us Sports' #ThanksCoach Campaign gives you the opportunity to say thanks and honor a coach who has positively impacted your life or the life of someone you love. To date, Up2Us Sports has reached more than 600,000 youth by placing over 4,000 AmeriCorps Coaches and VISTAs in underserved urban communities. The funds and awareness raised through this campaign will help increase the number of coaches transforming the lives of youth, building the capacity of sports programs, and improving the health of our nation’s communities.

All youth deserve a coach who sees their potential and who is committed to helping them reach that potential. Up2Us Sports invites you to recognize a coach who made a difference in your life and play it forward to help ensure ALL youth can experience the benefit of a great coach: Make a donation to Up2Us Sports at give.classy.org/thankscoach2021 in honor of a great coach or thank your coach on social media by using the hashtag #ThanksCoach and tagging @Up2UsSports.
