United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Ohio recently hosted their 10th
Anniversary “People of Promise” Golf Outing at The Lakes Golf and
Country Club, raising nearly $30,000.00 to enhance the lives of people
with disabilities and aging conditions. This year’s outing was a huge
success with 120 golfers and nearly 150 businesses and corporations
lending their support. The support of companies like Nationwide, Able
Roofing, Crane Company, AEP, and State Auto help make this annual event
one of Central Ohio’s best. 
During the reception, one individual and two corporations were awarded
this year’s CHAMPION OF PROMISE Award. The award recipients were UCP’s
Executive Director, Kathy Streblo, ICC, and TEKsystems. The CHAMPION OF
PROMISE Award was created to honor and recognize an individual or
corporation who has supported UCP of Central Ohio either financially or
with their time and talents for a significant period of time. The award
demonstrates UCP’s appreciation to individuals and companies who
exemplify philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy; support UCP’s
mission and vision; and serve as a role model and mentor for our staff
and participants. Winning Teams and Prizes
