At CUP, we believe every young adult deserves the chance to build a brighter future. Our Youth Empowerment Program and Beyond the Job program provide life-changing education, mentorship, and support to help students overcome barriers like addiction, poverty, and a lack of opportunity. The CUP Gala is our biggest fundraising event of the year—and it’s how we ensure these programs remain free and accessible to those who need them most. Your attendance, sponsorship, or donation directly funds mentorship hours, student stipends, and essential training. Together, we can equip the next generation with the tools, confidence, and community they need to thrive.
