UCP Joins With Circle K for a Good Cause

United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Arizona has reportedly teamed up with corporate partner in Circle K to help raise money for those living with cerebral palsy and other related disabilities. According to reports UCP has been the beneficiary of Circle K's community involvement for the past twenty-five years. Aside from this accomplishment, on both a local and national level Circle K has served as one of  the largest corporate sponsors for UCP.
 
The organization provides comprehensive programming to over 3,000 children and adults who are living with cerebral palsy and other disabilities like autism, Down syndrome, and those with learning disabilities.

Golf Tournament Benefits Those Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy
 
This past October, Circle K hosted the 7th Annual Aces High Golf Tournament and Silent Auction Reception in Las Vegas, with all benefits going toward the UCP of Central Arizona. The event was reportedly a huge success making more than $481,369.  With the current economy it was hard for organizers and beneficiaries to determine how much money would (and could) be raised at the event. But the tournament proved to be a success and was telling of Circle K as company who is more than willing to give back to the community, specifically those born with cerebral palsy due to birth defects or medical malpractice.

UCP of Central Arizona is an affiliate of one of the nation's largest health charities in the country.  Since 1952, UCP of Central Arizona has provided therapies,
independent living services, educational programs, and social opportunities to those living with cerebral palsy and their families.
