Youth with Disabilities are Winners !

At the 1st Annual UCP of Central Ohio Challenger Football Competition
On Sunday, March 30th, 2008, youth with disabilities came from all over Central Ohio for a chance to play flag football with the Columbus Destroyers and cheer with the Destroyers Bombshells at the Nationwide Arena. With two children of his own, Destroyers Quarterback Matt Nagy was more than willing to get his team involved with the UCP of Central Ohio Challenger Football Competition. “The Destroyers are honored to be involved with UCP and this event. By taking part, the team is helping individuals who aren’t as fortunate. We are happy to be a part of the day, and the game,” said Nagy.
Many of the event participants started off the exciting weekend attending Saturday night’s game to watch the Columbus Destroyers take on the Orlando Predators. Before the kickoff, the group was invited to join the Bombshells in forming a Tunnel of Support to welcome the Destroyers onto the playing field.

UCP of Central Ohio Named TechColumbus TopCAT Innovation Award Finalist!

United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Ohio was named a TechColumbus TopCAT Innovation Award finalist in the Innovation in Non-Profit Service Delivery category. UCP was recognized at the TechColumbus TopCAT Awards ceremony held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on Thursday, January 17th, 2008.

UCP’s nomination stemmed from a server upgrade with a multi-year outsourcing agreement with The Technology Group for off-site server support. The server upgrade has allowed increased security, better backup options, improved maintenance, and free upgrades resulting in less down time. More importantly, the server upgrade allows UCP to serve more people with disabilities and aging conditions in the community. With increased efficiency, UCP has improved service provision and streamlined case management, medical, and service record-keeping processes. UCP has also developed new fundraising tactics that have helped to form new collaborations while strengthening existing relationships in the community.

Issue 29

The Franklin County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities has a levy (Issue 29) on the March 4, 2008 ballot for the children and adults in Franklin County who have mental retardation or other developmental disabilities. This levy would replace two levies, one of which was passed in 1998 and the other in 1982. Specifically, the Board is requesting a replacement levy in the amount of 1.65 mills and an increase of 1.85 mills and if this levy is passed, the Board will allow the 2.32 mill levy to expire without renewal.
