Background
- UPSWING Foundation founded in 2020 by Harmony and Jason Myers is a Colorado-based nonprofit with a vision to connect people and catapult dreams. We believe access to sports, education, and other opportunities is too often limited by barriers such as socioeconomic factors. We also believe all kids should have an equal opportunity to experience sports, to learn and grow, to connect with others, and to discover and pursue their dreams. Our mission is to develop strong, confident, successful student athletes who are able to give back to their communities in meaningful ways.
- UPSWING Centennial is a state-of-the-art athletic facility offering performance training, dance, and recovery programs for athletes of all backgrounds. Designed to help determined student athletes thrive, UPSWING Centennial opens in late June 2024 for athletes, families, and the surrounding community.
