On Thursday, Dec.6th, the Samueli Foundation awarded Next Up a $10,000 check along with the “Big Heart Award.” Our founder, Vinicius Tinoco and Matt Piercey were at the ceremony to represent our organization. Big shout out to Matt Piercey for accompanying our founder, Mayor Tom Tait Mr. & Mrs. Samueli, and everyone at the Samueli Foundation. Thank you very kindly!
