Help Up2Us Launch a National Coaching Initiative



This year, Up2Us will implement a national coaching initiative to engage hundreds of Americans as coaches in sports-based youth development programs.  However, we need your help to get there!  The Up2Us Coach for America project has been nominated in the AMEX Members Project competition and stands to receive up to $1.5mm in seed funding if we can make it into the top 25 projects.  To help, please nominate our project by visiting this link:



If you have an AMEX card, click on "Nominate this Project" and log-in using your cardmember log-in.  Or, click on "Nominate this Project" then "Sign Up as a Guest Member."  If you get re-directed when you log-in, you can keyword search for "coach" and the name of the project is "America Needs More Coaches."


PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS COMPETITION!
THANK YOU!
