The Upton Men’s Club is honored to award $2,000 scholarships to Christopher Casey, Megan Reilly, and Lilia Young. These exceptional high school graduates have shown remarkable dedication to community service, embodying the values our club holds dear. We are thrilled to support these young leaders as they continue their educational journeys and look forward to the positive impact they’ll undoubtedly make in our community and beyond. Their commitment to service aligns perfectly with the Upton Men’s Club’s ongoing mission to better our local area.

The Upton Men’s Club hosted its highly anticipated annual Cornhole Tournament on June 8th, bringing together community members for a day filled with friendly competition, great food, and a shared commitment to supporting local projects. This event is a cornerstone fundraiser for the club, enabling us to fund various initiatives that benefit our local community.

With perfect weather gracing the event, participants and spectators alike enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere. The blue skies and warm sunshine set the stage for a day of exciting cornhole matches, where teams showcased their skills and battled it out for the top spot. The competition was fierce, but the camaraderie and sportsmanship displayed by all made the event truly special.

No Upton Men’s Club event is complete without delicious food and beverages, and this year’s tournament was no exception. The grill was going strong, serving up mouth-watering burgers, hot dogs, and other barbecue favorites. Meanwhile, the taps were flowing with a selection of refreshing brews, ensuring that everyone stayed hydrated and happy throughout the day.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our generous sponsors who made this event possible. Their support, particularly through the purchase of custom cornhole boards, was instrumental in ensuring the success of the tournament. These beautifully crafted boards not only added a unique touch to the competition but also served as a testament to the strong community spirit that defines Upton.

A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and contributed to the Upton Men’s Club Cornhole Tournament. Your involvement and generosity ensure that we can continue to fund and support important projects within our community. Here’s to many more successful events in the future!

Thank you to our sponsors!

The Upton Men’s Club proudly hosted its annual “Me and my Valentine” dance on February 4th, 2024, at the Miscoe Hill Middle School. The event was a resounding success, with DJ Ronnie Auger setting the mood by spinning lively tunes that kept everyone on their feet throughout the night. Attendees enjoyed capturing sweet moments at the polaroid photo booth, indulging in delicious snacks and refreshing drinks, and, most importantly, creating unforgettable memories through hours of joyful dancing.   Thanks for making it a memorable evening!

The Upton Men’s Club recently donated $2,500 to the Upton Police Department to alleviate costs associated with enrolling officers in the Sigma Wellness program, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing law enforcement officers’ cardiovascular health. Developed by experts in cardiology and law enforcement, the Sigma program provides comprehensive screenings and support services tailored to assess and mitigate cardiovascular risks among officers. This initiative is particularly crucial given the significant impact of daily stressors inherent in police work on officers’ health, as chronic stress has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular issues among law enforcement personnel. By sponsoring the participation of Upton’s police force in this program, the Men’s Club demonstrates its commitment to addressing the health challenges faced by officers, highlighting the crucial role that community organizations play in supporting law enforcement agencies and promoting public safety initiatives.

Every third Friday, the friendly fellows of the Upton Men’s Club arrive in the new Upton Community and Senior Center kitchen ready to prepare a tasty meal for our town’s seniors. On December 15th, we wrapped up 2023’s dinners on a happy note by serving broccoli chicken ziti with a rich alfredo sauce for over 40 Upton senior residents. Our eager high school volunteers came ready to cheerfully serve every senior attendee. The dining hall buzzed with lively conversation and Christmas music as the students dished out piping hot helpings of nourishing food to their honored guests. The hearty main course, and festive gingerbread men with ice cream for dessert filled smiling faces as we enjoyed time together.

We’re already planning more happy community Fridays full of friendship in the new year! These meals nourish our souls and bring residents together. Sincere thanks to all our senior friends for making every dinner a delightful success. We look forward to more great food and fellowship when we meet again next! From the Upton Men’s Club to all our local friends – happy dining!

Every year for the first 3 Saturdays in December the Upton Mens Club rings the bell for the Salvation Army. Come by and see us at the Post Office, the Coffee Bean and Dunkin Donuts from 9 till Noon.  Thank you for your support!

Ho ho ho! The jolly folks at the Upton Men’s Club joyfully hosted our annual Santa’s Breakfast extravaganza at the Upton Fire Department HQ on December 3rd. Loads of smiling kids eagerly gobbled up yummy pancakes cheerfully cooked up by our merry Men’s Club. We felt fortunate that the one and only Santa Claus took time out of his busy schedule to meet the eager children and hear their Christmas wishes.

The excitement peaked when Santa reached his hand into the raffle barrel and pulled out the lucky ticket belonging to none other than Arthur Knowles! Congratulations Arthur on winning the grand prize ATV! The children’s eyes lit up to see Santa work his magic right before them.

We send a huge, heartfelt thanks to all the families of Upton who merrily supported this event, making it a smashing and festive success. The laughter of happy children enjoying Santa’s visit was a true Christmas gift to us all! We appreciate you spreading holiday cheer with the Upton Men’s Club and look forward to seeing your smiling faces again next year!
