Honoring Capt. Cernan Up with People was honored to be among the select list of guests invited to celebrate the life of Capt. Eugene Cernan, USN (Ret.), Commander of Apollo XVII and the last man to walk on the surface of the moon. Capt. Cernan served on Up with People’s Board of Directors from 1972-1999 and passed in January 2017. Captain Cernan was a true international hero and humanitarian who inspired thousands of Up with People students through his reflections looking back at the Earth from the moon. It was those reflections that inspired the Up with People classic, Moon Rider.
“Being part of this with UWP’s young performers changed the lives of some of our Zanes Law team members. We loved getting to know them while doing community service and had a great time with them.” Doug Zane of Zanes Law in Tucson, AZ, on working with UWP to create the Bill Holmes Legacy Scholarship Fund)
