IT'S ALMOST TIME

1/14/2022

 
Picture
​As you know, UCP Oregon believes in the power of real choice, real jobs, real homes, and real connections for all—a full life for those we serve.
 
But it’s obvious that, in many cases, experiencing a full life can be extremely challenging, given the funding and service delivery systems that currently exist for people with developmental disabilities.
 
That’s why we launched the Bill Porter Memorial Fund (BPMF) in 2018.
 
The BPMF is designed to assist our customers to experience a full life, however that might look for each customer. Customers have applied for funding for:

  • Home modifications.
  • Assistive technology.
  • Travel to reconnect with a family member or friend.
  • Funding for education.
  • Job training.
  • Joining a gym.
 
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be opening the 2022 BPMF application process on February 1, 2022.
 
Note: Applicants must be currently receiving services from UCP Oregon to be considered.

Announcing "Bill Porter" Porter!

3/13/2020

 
Picture
$1 of every pint you drink at Deschutes Brewing on Tuesdays in April will go to UCP Oregon.
Find Out More
Guess what! UCP Oregon is about to have its own speciality beer at Deschutes Brewing! The beer will be known as "Bill Porter Porter" in honor of UCP's Bill Porter Memorial Fund (and the late, great Bill Porter himself, of course!)

​
Bill Porter was an Oregonian who experienced cerebral palsy. He was not defined by his disability or diagnosis, but instead by his incredible achievements while employed as a door-to-door salesperson for Watkins Products.

Bill became their top seller and worked for over forty years. His story was made known through articles in the Oregonian, a segment on the ABC news program 20/20, and the award winning movie, Door to Door, starring William H. Macy. Porter passed in 2013.

UCP honors Bill Porter with our 
Bill Porter Memorial Fund, which removes barriers and support meaningful lives for our customers.

Community Pints Fundraiser at Deschutes

Who's ready to raise a pint for UCP?

​Every Tuesday during the month of April, $1 per pint sold at Deschutes Portland Public House will be donated to UCP Oregon.


​In addition, Deschutes is working with UCP Oregon to brew a specialty beer honoring the late Bill Porter, known by unintentionally challenging misperceptions about cerebral palsy in pursuit of employment and independence.

Hey, Wanna Give free Money to UCP Oregon?

Hi! This is a special report from Corrie Hausman, UCP Oregon's Marketing Coordinator.

I've been using Amazon's amazing "AmazonSmile" program to raise free money for UCP! So far, UCP has received $6.49 from my Amazon purchases.

All I had to do was visit the "AmazonSmile" webpage and choose UCP Oregon as my favorite non-profit. Then, instead of using the regular Amazon web address when I want to make a purchase, I use the "AmazonSmile" web address. That's it! So easy. 

Do YOU want to raise free money for UCP? Learn more--and get it set up!--below.
