Our story

At just 8 years old, Myles Pressley witnessed a pivotal moment that would shape his life’s mission. While preparing for the Junior Olympics, he noticed that some of his teammates and fellow competitors couldn’t participate due to financial constraints. Determined to make a difference, Myles, with the unwavering support of his parents, Chris and Kristin Pressley, founded HUP Sports—short for Help Us Play.

Our History

All Out, All Game, All Season.

 

HUP Sports Fund (short for Help Us Play) was founded in 2024 by a compassionate 9-year-old athlete who recognized that many children are unable to participate in sports due to financial barriers. Determined to make a difference, this young founder initiated a movement to ensure that no child is left on the sidelines.hupsportsfund.org+1Move United+1

Since its inception, HUP Sports Fund has been dedicated to making youth sports accessible to all. By providing financial assistance for equipment, uniforms, registration fees, and travel expenses, the organization empowers children from underserved communities to engage in athletic activities. Through fundraising efforts and community partnerships, HUP continues to expand its reach, fostering inclusivity and promoting the physical and emotional well-being of young athletes.

Today, HUP Sports Fund stands as a testament to the impact of youth-led initiatives and the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to play, grow, and thrive through sports.
