Team UCP Races for Hope and Possibility
On Sunday, June 26th, Team UCP participated in the 2011 Achilles Hope & Possibility Race in Central Park. Due to great enthusiasm and interest, Team UCP was the second largest team in the Achilles Hope & Possibility Race, with over 100 team members consisting of staff, supporters and Honored Racers, individuals with disabilities. Team UCP’s Honored Racers accounted for nearly 50% of the team and raced in a variety of capacities alongside athletes from all over the country. UCP staff, supporters and even Jon Stewart of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart came out to cheer us on! Team UCP raised nearly 15,000 dollars to fund the vital services delivered by UCP of NYC to over 14,000 children adults with disabilities in New York. A special thanks to our corporate sponsors, EmblemHealth, HOK, The Loreen Arbus Foundation, to our consumer managed café, Basel's, who ran a smoothie fundraiser to contribute to the cause, and to all of the individual fundraisers and supporters who helped us reach our goal.
