Pat Green performing Upbring livestream

Texas-based nonprofit helps with child abuse

Upbring, a Texas-based nonprofit working to break the cycle of child abuse, will host a free virtual livestream concert featuring Texas country artist Pat Green. The virtual event is free to the public and will take place on Upbring’s Facebook page on Wednesday, May 6th at 7 pm CST.

Viewers will have the opportunity to watch Pat Green perform live and learn more about Upbring’s programs and the work the nonprofit accomplishes every day, along with its additional efforts during COVID-19.

“Music brings people together and Upbring is grateful to Pat Green for performing this special concert,” states Upbring President and CEO Michael Loo. “The current crisis is a critical time for children at risk. It presents a familiar pattern of increased stress on families – emotionally, financially, mentally and our work is needed now more than ever. It is our hope that this concert will provide some joy to families and communities and bring awareness to the important efforts of Upbring staff.”

Upbring is a leading Texas-based, faith-inspired nonprofit organization working to break the cycle of child abuse by empowering children, families and communities. Upbring partners with federal, state and local government agencies, community groups, small businesses, large corporations and dedicated individuals to deliver services that produce measurable progress toward five key markers of every child’s wellbeing: safety, life skills, education, health and vocation. Upbring benefits nearly 30,000 families each year with its life-changing programs — including foster care, adoption, education, children’s centers and community services. While Upbring has evolved over more than 137 years of service, our organization remains firmly focused on delivering innovative programs and services that address the root causes of child abuse and neglect.
