The #LoveUp Foundation will be a force for positive change and impact the lives of children and adults in our community.

Vision Statement: All people in our community will be inspired by the #LoveUp Foundation to spread kindness and positively impact children facing life in our foster care system.

The #LoveUp Foundation provides assistance, comfort and hope to children living within Arizona's foster care system.

We do this in three ways:

(1) #LoveUp Moments and Movements - These are extra-special events, experiences and opportunities the Foundation provides to children in foster care. Some recent examples include: High school graduation party for 50 teens in foster care, 100 laptops donated to 8th grade foster graduates, annual spectacular holiday party at The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess for 500, a day at Vertuccio Farms for 300, an Arizona Diamondbacks game for 400, a Phoenix Coyotes suite experience, tickets to live events at Comerica and Talking Stick arena, a day at the Arizona State Fair for 200, a day at the Desert Botanical Gardens for 500, new shoes and clothes at our (4) Shop & Sole events, a Star Wars premier holiday party for 100 and many more each year.

(2) Children's Heart Gallery - The Arizona Department of Child Safety chose the #LoveUp Foundation to create and oversee a mobile gallery, which is a stunning, photographic exhibit to showcase Arizona foster children looking for adoptive families. In addition, #LoveUp underwrites and hosts six large-scale Heart Gallery photo shoots each year to capture each child's unique spirit and help them find their forever homes through the website childrensheartgallery.org.

(3) Christmas Wish - For more than 20 years, Johnjay and Rich have been granting elaborate Christmas wishes to children and families in need.
