Because of you, Step Up & Step Out 2026 was more than a race day. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together to support children, families, and individuals across Hampton Roads. From every stair climbed and mile walked to every volunteer shift, sponsorship, and donation, your support helped move critical services forward and strengthened The Up Center’s mission of providing care, connection, and support to those who need it most.

Why Your Support Matters
Every day, children, families, and individuals across our community face challenges that cannot be solved alone. Access to mental health care, safe and stable housing, foster care support, parenting resources, mentoring, and recovery services can change the direction of someone’s life, but only when those services are within reach. Your support through Step Up & Step Out helps The Up Center continue providing coordinated care and support for people throughout Hampton Roads when they need it most.
