Support Heads Up For Our Youth’s 10th Year of Impact!

For the past 10 years, Heads Up For Our Youth (HUFOY) has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for underserved youth, ensuring that every child has access to quality education, essential school supplies, and life-changing experiences that set them on a path to success.

As we enter our milestone 10th year, the demand for economic and educational resources is greater than ever. Families are struggling, schools are underfunded, and children are facing obstacles that threaten their ability to thrive. But with your help, we can continue to bridge the gap and provide the resources our youth need to succeed.

Expanding Our Reach in 2025-2026!

In addition to celebrating our 10th Annual Back to School Rally in Greensboro, we are excited to grow our impact by expanding key programs and events throughout the year:

✅ 10th Annual Back to School Rally (Greensboro, NC) – A tradition of empowering students with supplies, resources, and inspiration for a successful school year.
✅ 2nd Annual Back to School Rally (Charlotte, NC) – Growing in reach and impact, this event is helping build a stronger foundation for students in the Charlotte community.
✅ Community Mentorship & Leadership Program – Equipping young minds with professional development opportunities, leadership training, and mentorship from industry professionals.
✅ Big Brother Barber Initiative – Transforming classrooms into pop-up barbershops, where kids learn about self-confidence, grooming, and entrepreneurship while receiving free haircuts.
✅ Youth Career Exploration & Leadership Workshops – Developing the next generation of leaders with hands-on guidance and exposure to career pathways.
✅ 3rd Annual Holiday Toy Drive – Bringing joy to hundreds of children during the holiday season by providing gifts to families in need and ensuring no child goes without.
