Returning for its third year, Uplift: FoCo inspires community growth through exceptional local music, with all proceeds benefiting the new Uplift Scholarship.

The evening will also include a Silent Auction & Art Show featuring items based in and uniquely Northern Colorado. Plus there will be a live painter, limited edition merchandise, prize giveaways, and more.
Uplift: FoCo is a network connecting human service agencies, music program providers, musicians, venues, and studios who are aligned with expanding access to music for youth, particularly teenagers from system-involved, low income, and broken home families. Youth will receive scholarship and mentorship support alongside open access to this network, building youth-defined pathways into the music world.
