United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Arizona was recently recognized for its outstanding work with the disability community by the Mayor’s Commission on Disability Issues, the Equal Opportunity Department and members of the disability community.
The annual Disability Awareness and Recognition event (D.A.R.E.) was recently held in downtown Phoenix, and acknowledged UCP of Central Arizona for its ability to maintain and implement opportunities for full inclusion in the organization’s mission and daily activities.
“United Cerebral Palsy of Central Arizona, our Outstanding Nonprofit Award honoree, embodies the very essence of resilience, compassion and dedication to the disability community,” said Nicole Anderson, chair of the Mayor’s Commission on Disability Issues. “In a world that often focuses on differences, UCP of Central Arizona stands as a testament to the power of unity, understanding and inclusion.
Each year, D.A.R.E. honors individuals, organizations and businesses for their dedication and service to the disabled community. The ceremony also recognizes those committed to improving the quality of life of all residents and visitors of Phoenix. The program’s goal is to inspire others to emulate the honorees and provide inclusivity for the community.
