In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing public health concerns in the community, Power Unit Youth Organization (PUYO) will not be proceeding with Night It Up! 2020, originally scheduled for July 10-12, 2020. Although it was a difficult decision to make, the health and safety of our volunteers and the community is our top priority, and the we continue to do their part during this public health crisis.

We would like to thank all of our partners, sponsors, and community members for their continuous support that make Night It Up! possible every year. We hope that everyone stays safe and healthy during this time and we look forward to bringing everyone together next year, for our 20th anniversary of Night It Up!. We already have many exciting new ideas for Night It Up! 2021 and cannot wait to share them with you all.

PUYO’s other project, The E3 Challenge will continue to proceed this summer, moving its in-person activities to an online platform. The business competition promotes entrepreneurship, empowerment and excellence by hosting three challenges completed within two months, concluding with one winning team. We are incredibly excited to see the impressive solutions that our participants will come up with this year and look forward to continuing to provide the youth in our community the opportunity to develop their skills.

PUYO will continue to provide opportunities and resources to our youth members through virtual platforms, as a part of our mission and values of empowerment, youth development and philanthropy. This will include various workshops for members to learn new skills, engaging activities to stay connected and philanthropic opportunities with partners in the community. At this time, when there are fewer activities for youth to participate in, PUYO invites you to connect and learn alongside other youth. Learn more about joining the team on the PUYO website
