How Down 7 Up 8 Incorporated sees Beautiful

At Down 7 Up 8 Incorporated, we see beautiful that lies within the souls of our children.  Whether it’s a foster, adopted or at-risk child, we work towards providing knowledge and experiences that  help to restore hope and dignity to all. We understand that each child’s situation is different, but Down 7 Up 8 Incorporated strives to show the children that life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful. Our outreach programs such as, “Princess for A Day,” “Boys to Men,” “Tutoring for Success,” and the “Teach Me How To” series are all designed to curate, enrich, and enhance the lives of these children. 

“Princess for A Day” gives the girls an opportunity to release the Princess within.  “Boys to Men” present information to help our young men understand that it is not where you start, but where you finish.  “Tutor for Success” helps to support the children who are struggling with their education, and “Teach Me How To” teaches them life’s lessons. Our Holiday Hearts program brings out the beautiful smiles on Christmas morning. As quoted, “I continue to believe that if children are given the necessary tools to succeed, they will succeed beyond their wildest dreams!”
