Fundraisers 2026-2027

The Fall Auction
September 12, 2026
Each year on the Saturday following Labor Day, Upward Christian Academy hosts its Annual Fall Auction at Antrim Brethren in Christ Church. More than a fundraiser, the event has become a day of community and celebration for families, patrons, and supporters. Guests can enjoy an all-day volleyball tournament, a spikeball tournament, food, games, and children’s rides before gathering for the central auction featuring goods and experiences generously donated by local businesses, community members, and school patrons. Proceeds from the event help support the mission and growth of Upward Christian Academy while bringing our community together around Christian education.

Spaghetti Dinner
January 23, 2027
Each January, Upward Christian Academy hosts its Annual Spaghetti Dinner at Chambersburg Mennonite Church as a way to support one of the school’s most important ministries—our special education program. This drop-in, come-and-go fundraiser runs from 5:00–8:00 PM and invites families, patrons, and community members to enjoy an evening of fellowship while helping provide resources for students with diverse learning needs. Guests can enjoy an all-you-can-eat meal featuring spaghetti, a salad bar, ice cream, and more. All proceeds from the evening go directly toward sustaining and growing Upward’s special education program, helping provide individualized instruction, specialized interventions, and additional support services for students.
