difference for children. Once registered, team members join
regional teams, representing their part of the United States, and
record their dollars through their personal fundraising page. A $25
registration fee will be applied toward each participant’s
fundraising goals and contribute toward incentive prizes for those
who walk and fundraise at various levels. Visit the website to see
a full list of available incentives.
“Since 2017, Steppin’ Up for Kids has raised nearly $120,000 and
participants have taken more than 4 million steps toward funding
medical grants for children across the United States,” said Matt
Peterson, president of UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation. “We
want as many people as possible to be part of this amazing
movement.”
Each regional team is led by a UHCCF Ambassador, all of whom are
grant recipients. The four regional teams are: Lucas’ Lions
(Northeast Region), Chloe’s Champions (Southeast Region), Marcus’
Marchers (West Region), and Madison’s Mile Markers (Central
Region). Read their inspiring stories and understand how UHCCF
medical grants help them and their families.
