We are looking for individuals who:

  • Bring diverse perspectives and expertise.
  • Possessexperiences and skills in areas such as finance, fundraising, marketing, law, healthcare, or community advocacy.

What's Your Reason?

9/12/2019

 
As you may know, we've been asking people to share their stories about what UCP means to them. Here's one of those stories!

PS: YOU can share YOUR story about what UCP means to you here.


Hi, I’m Jan. My older brother, Jerry Pattee, was born with cerebral palsy. With the right supports, Jerry was able to live a wonderful and full life. He worked for various telephone companies; he married and raised two children; he bought his own home. My brother also spent the majority of his life participating in disability committees and non-profit boards (like UCP's) to build a better future for others living with disabilities.

I can truly say my entire life has been in the “world of CP”!

I have worked in UCP's Family Support Department for eleven years. My daughter, Kristen, has been the UCP Receptionist for the last three years. Three of my grandchildren volunteer at Family Support events and the Walk, Roll 'n' Run every year. Participating 
in UCP Oregon is a family affair for us. 

That’s my reason for supporting The Walk, Roll, ‘n’ Run. What's yours?

The following was written by  Jan Shellenberger (Jerry’s sister, who currently serves as UCP's Family Support Assistant).
