Other UFC Events
Holiday parties, youth retreats, film premieres and more.
UFC benefits from movie premieres, boutique shopping events, and a variety of other occasions by partnering with companies committed to giving back.
Events for our youth held throughout the year are essential to UFC’s philosophy of working with foster youth to develop familial and communal bonds among each other, UFC staff, and our community as a whole.
Past Events

The youth enjoyed Jewels and Jill's humor and the invaluable advice they offered on how to make quick, healthy meals that fit their budget.
