March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, and United Cerebral Palsy of Nebraska (ucpnebraska.org) is marking the occasion by celebrating both awareness and a remarkable milestone—72 years of service to individuals with disabilities and their families across Nebraska. Since 1953, UCP of Nebraska has remained focused on building inclusive communities where people of all abilities are supported, empowered and valued. Throughout the month, the organization encourages the community to Go Green for CP as a visible show of support and awareness.
This year’s celebration includes meaningful partnerships and inclusive events that reflect the organization’s enduring mission. UCP of Nebraska is honored to be the March charity for Metro Stars Gives Back, where a portion of open gym proceeds throughout the month will benefit the organization. Community members are encouraged to visit a Metro Stars gym during March to stay active while giving back.
UCP of Nebraska will also host Family Focus events designed to bring families together in welcoming, accessible environments.
On March 14, families can attend an inclusive, sensory-friendly showing of Hopper at B&B Theatres. Later in the month, UCP of Nebraska will collaborate with UNO Athletics for Mavs in Motion on Saturday, March 28, featuring the Pancake Man for an engaging, movement-filled experience.
As UCP of Nebraska celebrates its 72nd birthday on March 24, the organization continues to honor its legacy by creating moments of connection, joy, and belonging. Families interested in participating in Family Focus events can contact Kori at (402) 502-3572, and additional event information is available at ucpnebraska.org.
