Minneapolis - February 25, 2008 - In a move that will streamline operations
and further their mission, The UpperEx National Outreach Coalition (UNOC)
has acquired ownership of UpperEx.Com, LLC through a donation made by Eric
Westover, Founder and CEO of UpperEx.Com. The donation is valued at
approximately $20,000.00 and includes the UpperEx.Com web site, magazine,
and web store along with all other assets and intellectual property.

 

This is a natural progression in the evolution and growth of the UNOC as
the leading advocate and voice for those affected by an upper extremity limb
difference, said Westover, Founder and CEO of UpperEx.Com, LLC and UNOC.
Donating UpperEx.Com, LLC is the right thing to do. It furthers the mission
of the UNOC in serving the upper extremity amputee community and gives the
UNOC additional avenues to deliver information to stakeholders and
constituents in an established media package.

 

UpperEx.Com was founded in October of 2004 and published its first issue in
May of 2005 to twenty subscribers. Today, UpperEx.Com reaches over 3,000
people each month from 30 different countries around the world and is the
premiere resource for those affected by upper extremity limb loss or
difference and those who work with them. After being completely redesigned
in 2006, it has grown to include video tips and tricks, current news,
events, resources, and a one-of-a-kind online glove swap plus much more.
UpperEx.Com continues to grow every month in scope and size with new
features set to launch later this year.

 

UpperEx.Com was never a means for profit, Westover said, It has always
been about providing information, helping others, and giving back to a
community that helped me. The UNOC sprang from the people I met and the
stories I heard traveling around the country in support of UpperEx.Com. It
made me realize that there wasn't an organization out there advocating
specifically for those affected by an upper extremity limb loss or
difference.

 

The transition is slated to be completed by the end of the summer. The only
noticeable difference will be a melding of web sites and a consistent
organizational branding platform.

 

The UNOC can be contacted at 800-573-6329 ext. 1. They invite inquiries
from amputees, their families, sponsors and donors. You can also go to the
Foundation web site at www.UpperEx.org or email <Email Address Redacted>
