UP and Running wins the race

On September 14, staff and youth from Universidad Popular’s very own youth program, Uprising, participated in the first 5K in the program’s history. Training and conditioning leading up to the race occurred weekly, and on the same day of “Las Fiestas Patrias,” the 19 runners representing Uprising were more than prepared to cross the finish line.

We’d like to congratulate all of the youth who participated, especially our very own Michelle Rosette and Luis Estrada, who took first place in their age categories. With your help, we want the UP and Running team to continue to participate in more events like this. You can show your support by sponsoring a youth or by taking part in upcoming fundraising efforts. We’re excited to have you run with us next year!
