GIVING
GOALS
As of July 2025, we’ve launched a new fundraising campaign running through August 2026.
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve signed a purchase agreement for land on Byers Road—just off Exit 20 on I‑81. This central, accessible site will, God willing, become the future home of our new campus and serve our community for many years to come.
Purchasing this land is a major focus of our fundraising efforts in the year ahead. You can learn more about this project on our FUTURE CAMPUS PAGE.
We invite you to partner with us in this exciting step forward—every gift brings us closer to making this vision a reality.
The fundraising allocations we are looking to raise over the next year are as follows:
-
Special Needs / Learning Challenges (40K)
-
Curriculum & Program Expansion (20K)
-
Land Purchase (450K)
-
Building Design & Site Surveying (90K)

GIVE BY STOCKS & SECURITIES
Upward Christian Academy accepts donations of stocks and other investment securities through our dedicated Fidelity brokerage account. Donating appreciated securities can often provide tax advantages compared to selling the assets and donating cash.
If you are interested in making a gift of stock or other investment assets, please contact our treasurer, Del Martin at (717) 360-1302 to receive transfer instructions.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are an important part of the Upward Christian Academy community. From helping teachers with classroom projects and assisting at school events to preparing or serving hot lunches, sharing a special talent like art or music, or serving as a field trip chaperone, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved. Your time and willingness to serve make a lasting impact on our students, and we'd be grateful to have you partner with us.
FUNDRAISE
Fundraisers are an important way our school community comes together to support Upward Christian Academy. Throughout the year, we host events such as spaghetti dinners, auctions, tournaments, bake sales, and other community gatherings that help fund programs and meet school needs. Whether you attend, donate items, sponsor an event, or volunteer your time, every contribution plays a part in strengthening our school and investing in the next generation.
