“Every year, the UCP community looks forward to showcasing men and women with disabilities at ‘Share the Love,’” said Diane Wilush, executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Georgia. “It’s a wonderful reminder that these individuals – regardless of their challenges – want to be valued, accepted and appreciated. ‘Share the Love’ allows the people we serve to experience those feelings. It’s a joyous, inspiring event, and we hope that many in the Atlanta community will join the celebration.”
