With United Cerebral Palsy, you know both
your money and time are well spent.



Not only is United Cerebral Palsy one of the largest health charities in the United States, it is also one of the most financially responsible. UCP of Philadelphia & Vicinity spends at least 86 cents of every dollar directly on programs and services to benefit people with disabilities and their families, a claim that few other charities can make. UCP of Philadelphia provides direct services to over 2,400 adults, children and their families as well as information and referral support to close to 5,000 area residents!

Listed below are some of the ways that YOU can help UCP:
  • Volunteering Your Time - UCP has many different kinds of volunteer opportunities. We are looking for people to volunteer at special events like our Fantasy Auction or our Golf Tournaments, as well as to volunteer at UCP in our Recreation, Children's Services, or Development Departments!

  • UCP Community Resource Funds - The UCP Community Resource Funds are comprised of individual donor-named funds and foundations that have been formed to honor and/or memorialize a loved one or special person.
