UCP Suffolk 60th Anniversary 5K walk or wheel – Take a step toward creating Life Without Limits for people with disabilities

Take a step toward creating Life Without Limits for people with disabilities by joining the UCP Suffolk 60th Anniversary 5K Walk and Wheel (strollers and wheelchairs welcome) on Saturday, October 2nd at Belmont Lake State Park, sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union.  Participants will have the choice of completing the entire 5K (twice around the lake) or stopping after only one loop.

Your involvement will enable us to strengthen the programs and services UCP Suffolk provides annually to over 3,500 children and adults with disabilities.  Please visit our website, www.ucp-suffolk.org for specific information about our daily and/or residential programs, and our medical, therapeutic, social and family support services.  We invite you as well to join our advocacy efforts on behalf of persons with disabilities.

Please ask your friends to join us, or to support your participation with a sponsorship donation (follow links below).  We encourage you to set a personal goal, and all walkers/wheelers who raise a minimum of $100 above the $25 registration will receive a UCP Suffolk 60th Anniversary Tote bag.

We thank you for your interest and look forward to greeting you at Belmont Lake State Park on October 2, and walking or wheeling together in celebration of UCP Suffolk's 60 years of service to the community, and in support of Life Without Limits for People with Disabilities.
