Bold graphic promoting STEPtember 2025. The word “STEPtember” is displayed prominently in large, stylized text on a dark blue background. Below it reads “2025 Challenge is Coming Soon,” framed by green dotted arrow graphics pointing inward. The logo for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation is displayed in the bottom right corner on a bright teal strip.
We’re officially in double digits — CPARF is celebrating 10 years of funding groundbreaking cerebral palsy research and driving innovation forward. And there’s no better way to mark this milestone than with our biggest, boldest STEPtember yet.

The left side features a green box with the message “Celebrate Your Birthday with Purpose” and the CPARF logo. The background is a cheerful pattern of cakes, balloons, and presents. On the right, a photo shows a joyful group of people, including children and adults, throwing confetti around a birthday cake. The bottom of the photo reads “Happy Birthday!” in playful blue script.
Birthdays are for joy, reflection, and connection — and now, they can help fund groundbreaking research, fuel innovation in assistive technology, and create lasting change for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.

Graphic for Mental Health Awareness Month. On the right side, there's a beige cutout of a human head in profile with colorful flowers flowing out from the top, symbolizing mental well-being. On the left, a blue box contains CPARF's white logo and white text: "Mental Health Awareness Month. 5 Ways to Care for Yourself — and Why Inclusive Mental Health Support Matters."
Too often, mental health challenges in the disability community are overlooked, misdiagnosed, or left unaddressed. This month, we’re inviting you to take small steps toward self-care and advocate for the kind of inclusive, affirming mental health care everyone deserves.

Watercolor illustration of a smiling woman with dark skin and curly black hair wearing glasses and a peach sweater, sitting at a desk holding colorful charts. She is surrounded by colorful papers, and abstract charts in the background. A purple banner reads: “Make a Difference with Your Donor-Advised Fund. Join the #HalfMyDAF Movement.” The white logo for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation appears above the text in the right-hand corner of the purple banner.
At CPARF, we're always looking for new and meaningful ways for our supporters to create lasting impact for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. A surprisingly powerful, yet often overlooked, way to do that is through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF).
