Get Up 8 Foundation

Today is the last day to place your orders to support Jordan! https://www.facebook.com/679644476/posts/10158589039864477/?extid=GvG8yfduJutzVOew&d=n

Two years ago, The Get Up 8 Foundation learned about a boy named Drake fighting one of the most heinous cancers, DIPG. As we learned more about the disease and about Drake and his family, we heard the call to act. None of us could have known that a 7 year old boy could teach us so much about strength and grace, about big bright smiles, and about cherishing your loved ones every single day. Drake lives on through these lessons and forever in our hearts. RIP Drake Walker- Donations in support are graciously accepted at https://gf.me/u/yj4unt

Hello Get Up 8 friends. We hope you are all well in this unique time. Based on current guidance and out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to suspend the 7th annual Jamie Pajo Outrigger Race. The safety of our participants and supporters always comes first. Once the COVID-19 threat has subsided, we will work with our partners to possibly reschedule. As this public health threat stretches, we will again assess and make decisions. The COVID-19 situation remains ...uncertain and our goal is to respond in a way that best meets the health and safety needs of those participating and supporting. We will follow Federal, State and Local recommendations on COVID-19. We are grateful for the dedication and appreciate the sacrifices you make to support our event. The event will be back. Every day, more people are diagnosed with COVID-19, and they’re more vulnerable than ever right now. The need to support our community continues, and so will the work of Get Up 8 Foundation. We stand together even when we’re apart. Your efforts have made an impact on many people, and we’re looking forward to continuing the conversation on ways to support during this time. If you do know a person in need, please contact Get Up 8 at [email protected]. Please send us information on the person and their needs. Get Up 8 will follow up to see how we can be of assistance. We want you all to know that we appreciate the sacrifices you make to attend our events. We will continue to share updates via our website, social media and e-mail to help you stay informed. Now more than ever, we are so grateful for your passion and dedication. Thank you for all that you do.

Hello Get Up 8 friends. The care of each of you and that of our community is why Get Up 8 was created. In previous weeks and days, we have seen a whirlwind of news regarding COVID-19/coronavirus. We are hearing not only about the spread of the virus but also the difficulties people are having trying to stay uninfected. We are seeing difficulties in purchasing supplies such as toilet paper and water. We are hearing of businesses temporary closing which in some cases are l...eaving employees without a paycheck. Get Up 8 wants to follow up to see if you or people you know need immediate support during this time. If you do know a person in need, please contact Get Up 8 at [email protected]. Please send us information on the person and their needs. Get Up 8 will follow up to see how we can be of assistance. As developments related to COVID-19/coronavirus rapidly evolve, Get Up 8 is continually monitoring the situation and assessing potential changes to ensure the care of our community. We will continue to be there to assist during this unusual time. Thank you for your continuous support. #getup8 #getup8foundation
