Your Child's Chance to Try Out Adaptive Cycling

6/20/2018

 
Picture
If your child experiences disabilities, and wants to try out some adaptive bicycling in a safe and fun environment, you should know about the upcoming Adaptive Cycling component of the June 24th Sunday Parkways.

UCP Oregon will be staffing an information booth at the event, and we’re hoping to see lots of UCP families there!

  • WHEN: June 24th, from 11 am – 4pm.
  • WHERE: Harper’s Playground at Arbor Lodge Park, 2525 N Dekum Street, Portland.
  • WHAT: An opportunity to try several types of adaptive bicycle devices, perfect for kids who experience disabilities. Families can gather together, try out the adaptive bicycles, meet and share with other parents, and be a part of the Sunday Parkways spirit, while still having their own space to ride. Please bring a helmet.
  • FIND OUT MORE: Contact the event’s organizers, A. J. Zelada (ajz@zelada.com or 503-318-2472) and Martine Sacks (mtines@earthlink.net or 503-475-0505). You can also contact UCP’s Development Director, Gavin Johnson, at 503-467-0355.

A Bunny Takeover at UCP

6/18/2018

 
Was last Wednesday the best day ever at UCP Oregon? Maybe!

UCP was taken over by "Bunnies in Baskets" (a non-profit that brings therapy rabbits to local businesses and organizations). Lucky UCP employees and customers got lots of cuddles, and even a few bunny kisses.

It Takes a Village

6/7/2018

 
At UCP Oregon, our customers have big dreams, and it often “takes a village” to make these dreams happen. An example of our village in action is our customer, Linda, and her job as a Research Assistant at Portland State University.

What Does "M.U.T." Do?

6/5/2018

 
Did you know that UCP has a fabulous Morale & Unity Task Force (“MUT”)? But what does MUT do?
​

MUT host multiple fun events a year, such as a Halloween party for our customers, and potlucks and Morale Moments for our employees. Next week, for instance, some Bunnies in Baskets are going to be visiting us! 

To fund all the fun, the Morale & Unity Task force holds an annual auction in June.

​Employees, customers and anyone else who is interested donates items or services, and UCP’s employees bid on the item. This year's auction (held last Friday) featured 41 fantastic items, such as a Burt's Bees gift basket, an Oregon wines basket, a Comic Con mystery box, and several homemade liquors.

The auction raised $657, which will fund a lot of fun events.

​Thanks to everyone involved, from the donors and bidders, to the the MUT members. Special thanks go to Kelly Castagnola (Training & Supports Manager), who coordinated the event, and our intrepid Auctioneer, John Barrios (Lead Personal Agent), for his amazing auctioneering skills!
