On Monday, January 18th, Up2Us Sports hosted a virtual event for MLK Day of Service. Nearly ten years after Martin Luther King Jr. Day signed into law as a federal holiday, it was officially established as a national day of service by Congress in 1994. It is observed as “a day on, not a day off” and is the only federal holiday nationally recognized as a day of service. This day of service is led by AmeriCorps, who also funds our Up2Us Sports Coach Program.
In honor of International Day of the Girl, Up2Us Sports hosted a two-day symposium to celebrate trailblazing women in the sports industry. Attendees heard directly from professional athletes, coaches and women executives in the sports field who are paving the way for the next generation of women leaders in sports.
