This is a brand new, never before seen design of our mascot, Freddie the Yeti at Garden of the Gods and with Pikes Peak in the background.
 

At the core of our organization’s mission is to get everyBODY outside regardless of age, background, experience, disability, socioeconomic class, etc. From our staff and Board of Directors to our volunteers and participants, our organization strives to involve ALL people from our local community and empower them to take part in our programs and events. UpaDowna does not limit participation based on pre-qualifiers and encourages diversity in any and all programs we offer. Inclusivity and diversity are imperative to the success of our organization and therefore it is important to us that our organization represents the communities we aim to serve. 

Our programs aim to help build community and increase physical activity and adventure in high need, underserved communities through programs that are free of cost. We not only provide the events and programs free of cost to our participants, but we also provide the education and gear to use free of charge. We do our best to eliminate as many barriers that individuals and families may have when trying a new activity in the outdoors. 

UpaDowna prides itself on its ability to redefine "community" to that of a holistic approach, one of inclusion and diversity regardless of race, color, creed, religion, socioeconomic status, knowledge, or ability. In a world flush with great causes we are one of the few that has no pre-conditions to participation, everyone is welcome to every program we offer.

This t-shirt fundraiser will help us in providing as many free to donation-based programs that we can in the summer of 2022.
