Support Team UCP!
DONATE HERE!
Believe it or not, the Cleveland Triathlon is right around the corner! UCP of Greater Cleveland is proud to be the official charity of the Cleveland Triathlon, to be held Sunday, August 4, 2013 in Downtown Cleveland’s North Coast Harbor. Team UCP at the Cleveland Triathlon is our biggest fundraising event of the year, and there are plenty of ways to be involved.
RACE!
As a race participant, you will achieve personal satisfaction by reaching your goals while also helping to increase awareness for some of our community’s most vulnerable members – individuals with disabilities. Pacific Sports will make a donation in honor of all Team UCP participants. There are three different distances to choose from, as well as a relay option. There is also a special course for youth to participate in their very own triathlon. Click here to see the full list of options. To register, go to www.active.com/running/cleveland-oh/triathlon-event—cleveland-triathlon-2013 and click on “Register Now.”
FUNDRAISE!
Last year we were able to raise $216,328 with the help and support of people like you. Anyone can fundraise for Team UCP, even if they are not racing. You can create your own fundraising page by logging onto www.active.com/donate/teamucp2013 and clicking on “Become a Fundraiser,” which will give you step by step instructions. You can then include your customized fundraising page in email blasts, on your Facebook page or on any other social media websites. All of your efforts will help bring us one step closer to our fundraising finish line! If you need assistance customizing your fundraising page or developing a fundraising strategy, please do not hesitate to ask us for help. Just email teamucp@ucpcleveland.org with any questions or concerns.
VOLUNTEER!
An event of this scale takes a huge amount of manpower, and we cannot do it without your help. UCP of Greater Cleveland coordinates the majority of volunteers during the Cleveland Triathlon. Volunteers not only ensure a smooth and successful race, but they also contribute to UCP’s ability to raise funds for services as the Official Charity of the Cleveland Triathlon. For every volunteer that assists during the race weekend, UCP receives a donation from the race producers.
Watching families participate in the Cleveland Triathlon is one of the most inspirational moments to witness. Disabilities touch so many people, either through their own personal experience or that of a loved one. Be inspired! Be a part of Team UCP’s success by participating as a volunteer! Please see the Volunteer Flyer for more information on how you can help.
Please call Emily Hastings at 216-453-4944 or email teamucp@ucpcleveland.org to sign up to volunteer! Make sure to indicate your volunteer preference and your t-shirt size.
Additional Volunteer Information:
Training will be provided by the Cleveland Triathlon and UCP staff one evening during the week of July 29th – August 2nd. Additional information will be sent out to all confirmed volunteers closer to the training date.
Corporate groups, networking groups, and youth groups are all welcome to volunteer together. Groupings will be dependent on assignment availability.
