Have you heard of the UCP Respitality Program? United Cerebral Palsy

parents a short, refreshing break from their demanding daily care routines.

for incidental expenses such as dinner at their hotel. For more information
call 858-571-7803 or email info@ucpsd.org  Also, if you know of a hotel
willing to participate in this great program (they receive publicity and tax
deductions AND help the local community), please have them call UCP
San Diego.
