2009 Casual Day is in full swing. (Thanks to Pete Weber: Listen to our great PSA!) Over 300 area businesses and organizations participate in this annual event. Casual Day (or Casual Friday) has become such an accepted part of the business landscape that few people remember where it came from. Believe it or not, United Cerebral Palsy developed the original Casual Day in the early 90’s! In Middle Tennessee, we have celebrated UCP Casual Day since 1992. At the seventeen year mark, Casual Day has netted over half a million dollars to UCP throughout the years. 100% of these dollars have been used to provide direct services to persons with all types of disabilities in our community.

Each year, coordinators and participants at area businesses await the specially designed “Tennessee Heritage” theme, which is displayed on the t-shirts and art prints. The 2009 theme is “Tennessee Wildlife” and it features the artwork of UCP Development Director Diane Dietrich.
