Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation Celebrates Continued Collaboration With QBE North America – PR Web

"QBE exemplifies what it means to be an ally," said CPARF Executive Director Michael Pearlmutter. "Beyond increasing their financial support each year, they maintain a real curiosity about our work."

QBE maintains a deep commitment to supporting CPARF's work, including sponsoring STEPtember CPARF's flagship fundraising campaign as a corporate partner at increasing levels since 2020. In 2023, their $25,000 platinum sponsorship more than doubled their support from the prior year. QBE employees also rose to the challenge and raised over $50,000 during the 2023 event, bringing QBE's total lifetime fundraising for CPARF to more than $150,000.

Excited by CPARF's disability innovation work, QBE's 2023 fundraising supported Remarkable US, CPARF's startup accelerator. "QBE exemplifies what it means to be an ally," said CPARF Executive Director Michael Pearlmutter. "Beyond increasing their financial support each year, they maintain a real curiosity about our work. How can we make the biggest difference right now? Which research needs the most support? How can we best help the cerebral palsy community and the wider disability community? What conversations will drive the most change? And this approach has led to our deepened relationship over the last year."

In 2023, this unique collaboration broadened to include thought leadership. Several members of both organizations regularly met to help QBE launch Workability an employee resource group dedicated to disability inclusion and amplifying disabled voices in the US. CPARF also led multiple webinars about increasing inclusion and accessibility in the workplace.

CPARF and QBE are continually committed to making the world more open, accessible, and inclusive for people with cerebral palsy and co-occurring disabilities, and they are proud to work together to make it happen.
