SERVING OTHERS

Venture Up supports the International Cultural Exchange & Sports Union (ICE SU) -- a group committed to bringing even more world class athletes for training & events to the United States -- in the 7,000 ft. elevation zone of Flagstaff, Arizona, the Gateway to the Grand Canyon.  The ICE SU, sometimes referred to as the "Sports Union", is developing leadership and healthy living programs for young people in under-served ethnic populations.  Plans call for an event-sized ice rink, olympic swimming pool, basketball court, track and field and other facilities -- with a little help from our international friends.
