The Heart Behind Fun Side Up

We’re Phil and Phyllis Cheung, the husband-and-wife team behind Fun Side Up. As parents of three incredible children on the spectrum, we know how hard it can be to find social opportunities that feel truly joyful, inclusive, and most importantly FUN. That’s why we created Fun Side Up: a space where neurodivergent adults can connect, try new things, and enjoy life to the fullest.

Our Values

  • Belonging – Everyone deserves a place where they feel welcome and valued.

  • Joy – Fun isn’t extra, it’s essential. Joy fuels confidence, connection, and growth.

  • Inclusion – Our activities are low-pressure, supportive, and designed for all abilities.

  • Community – We believe in friendships that last beyond the activity.

Our Vision for Fun Side Up

We imagine a world where autistic and disabled adults have unlimited access to meaningful, fun experiences - from art and music to outdoor adventures and community outings. Fun Side Up is here to make that vision real, one activity (and one smile) at a time.

For Vendors

Are you in the business of spreading joy? So are we! At Fun Side Up, we’re always looking to partner with local vendors, instructors, and community leaders who know how to bring the FUN. Whether you teach art, dance, music, cooking, fitness, nature skills—or something wonderfully unexpected—we want to hear from you.

Our goal is to offer a wide variety of inclusive, sensory-friendly, and low-pressure activities for autistic and disabled adults. If your offering is creative, interactive, movement-based, relaxing, or just plain joyful, there's a great chance it belongs in our lineup.

We’re especially interested in:

  • Art & craft instructors

  • Music, movement, or dance facilitators

  • Yoga, wellness, and mindfulness professionals

  • Nature educators and outdoor guides

  • Game night or puzzle/escape room hosts

  • Cooking & baking instructors

  • Life-size game, trivia, or recreation-based vendors

Let’s create unforgettable experiences together. Bring your energy, your expertise, and your love of fun—and become part of a community that truly celebrates connection, creativity, and inclusion.
