Just a reminder, Upward Basketball and Cheerleading in Napoleon at NapNaz does NOT do any type of fundraising! It’s come to my attention again that someone is selling candy bars in Defiance claiming to be raising money for Upward in Napoleon. This is NOT accurate! We have not and will not ask anyone to sell candy bars or anything for our Upward program. IF that were to ever change, it would be posted by the admin of this page. Please share this if you know of anyone who has encountered this. Thank you!
