Open Up

2026 Fundraising

Ten Years Open. Moving Forward Together.

For ten years, Open Up has created accessible, inclusive spaces where people learn mindfulness tools through movement, creative expression, and community connection, centering people with disabilities and those often left out of traditional wellness spaces.

As we enter our second decade, we are focused on what comes next.

Your support helps carry this work forward with intention, care, and sustainability.
