The Purpose by TWENTYU

Date: April 06

Time: 7pm

Location: SC Ragan Theatre

Description:

We have partnered with UVU to make an incredible event that will help you understand what you are capable of, and your true potential.

Come join us for an event that will change your life, with amazing speakers!

TWENTYU is more than just an athletic clothing brand that makes amazing and quality products. It is a community, movement and a lifestyle.

Our message starts with a few questions.

Ask yourself, why was I born at this time and not 600 years ago? Or 1,000 years ago? Why now? What does God want from me?

Your PURPOSE is one of the most important things you can know. Knowledge about yourself is everything. You will realize that you are here to do a great work, and you have limited time to complete that work. That is why you must live with URGENCY every day.

At TWENTYU we are committed to help you achieve that PURPOSE, and we are here to remind you to live with URGENCY every day.

This is why we are doing this event. We invited people who are living their PURPOSE. People who stand out. People who overcame great challenges in their lives and used those experiences to serve and inspire others.

Come and let’s learn together. Let’s become better. Together, we can make a huge difference in this world.
