Contrary to its name, United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) does not only advocate for people with cerebral palsy but also for people with other physical and mental disabilities. The non-profit organization provides education, advocacy and support services for their beneficiaries with the goal of ensuring a life without limits for them. Its founders, board of directors and staff members, even its donors and contributors, advocate independence, productivity and inclusivity via full citizenship status for people with disabilities.

Established in 1949 as a small organization, UCP has since expanded its geographical reach and political influence. Its strong affiliate network is well-known for its large-scale, organization-based support services, which has helped and continues to help affected individuals and their families to enjoy their lives regardless of the odds. It is, nonetheless, moving forward into new directions to keep up with the times, such as the use of social media and technological innovation to advance its causes.

Every dollar in donation to UCP will, indeed, go a long way toward a better life for people with disabilities – and that’s sufficient reason to donate now.
