Check out these pics from yesterday, which was "Day One" of UCP Oregon's Family Support Annual Toy Giveaway!
The event continues today. Learn more here. Oooh! What a cool video.
Eighteen families from UCP's Family Support Department joined us for the Cinnamon Bear Breakfast cruise on Saturday, December 17th. It was a beautiful day filled with holiday joy! Happy December from UCP Oregon's Family Support Department!
We're excited to announce the 2022 Annual Toy Giveaway. The event will be held on December 21 and 22, from 10am-4pm. The event is for families who are raising children who experience cerebral palsy or a related disability. The event will be held indoors this year (instead of in the parking lot like the last two years). However, we will be taking COVID precautions to protect our staff, families and customers. We'll have lots of toys to choose from, holiday gift bags so you can hide the toy if needed as you leave the building, and cookies and hot chocolate for you to take with you. We can't wait to see you! We are excited to announce that UCP Oregon’s popular iFly Event is back!
This event gives kids in our Family Support Department the chance to experience indoor skydiving in a fun and safe indoor environment, with assistance from iFly’s trained professionals. All ability levels are welcome, but you must RSVP to participate. The event will be held on Sunday, November 20, 2022, from 4-7pm. We're excited to announce that we're forming a group from UCP Family Support to attend the OMSI Play Labs.
OMSI Play Labs are incredibly fun! These free events are designed for children aged 0-6. OMSI is “offering the availability of free memberships” (wow!) and snacks to participants. Yesterday was the 2022 UCP Family Support Picnic. What a sweet day of community connection, fun and delicious food. Click through the slideshow above to see all the pics! PS: DO YOU have pics to share? Please send them to Corrie (UCP's Marketing Coordinator), and we'll add them to the slideshow!
Alas, as you may have guessed, there will be no 2022 Walk, Roll 'n' Run (WRR).
The WRR is UCP Oregon's biggest special event. It raises funds for the hundreds of families and kids who use the services of our Family Support Department. So we're going to need your help more than ever! That's why we're asking you to donate in your usual amount. Or even consider donating more! Every dollar makes a huge difference. We are excited to announce that our 2022 Family Support Picnic will be held on Saturday, September 10th. It's going to be AWESOME! Learn more (and RSVP!) below. Parenting a kiddo who experiences disabilities can be difficult.
Planning for that kiddo’s financial future can be even tricker! That’s why UCP Oregon is pleased to be hosting a 2022 “Special Needs Planning Workshop Series.” These workshops are being presented by the Abeona Group, and are sponsored by UCP Oregon’s Family Support Department. The workshops include:
These workshops are open to anyone who is parenting a child who experiences any developmental disability—not just cerebral palsy. We had so much fun at the the 2022 Junior Rose Parade!
A huge thank you goes out to our Family Support Director, Katherine Ball, for organizing the event. Those balloons were so cool! And another thanks to Lillieth Cusick Grand for taking (and sharing!) so many great photos. And thanks to everyone who attended or watched! |
