From the earliest days of UCP’s Women’s Leagues to the thousands who gave of their time to launch and sustain the nation’s first annual telethon, to today’s program volunteers and those who serve on committees like the Women Who Care Luncheon—the extraordinary ongoing dedication and inspirational spirit of New Yorkers as Volunteers has been the hallmark of the organizations sustainability. Volunteers have come from all walks of life and ranged from dedicated housewives, enlisted officers, Wall Street executives, top athletes to hundreds of celebrities and VIPS including Princess Diana, John F. Kennedy Jr., The Beatles, Muhammad Ali and several Former Presidents & First Ladies – Bill & Hillary Clinton, Ronald & Nancy Reagan, Gerald & Betty Ford and Dwight D. & Mamie Eisenhower.

United Cerebral Palsy is the largest healthcare charity in America for people with disabilities. Nearly 500,000 individuals in the United States and 35,000 people in the metropolitan New York area have cerebral palsy or a related disability. Each year, over 14,000 children, adults and their families benefit from the extensive educational, healthcare, employment, housing, technology and research services provided by UCP of New York City.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
