A PART OF ULMAN FOUNDATION’S SO DO WE INITIATIVE

The Maryland Cup

The Maryland Cup is an exciting service-learning competition in which schools across Maryland compete to support young adults impacted by cancer. This competitive program, part of the Ulman Foundation’s So Do We Initiative, combines education, leadership development, fundraising, and volunteer opportunities. The competition culminates in the presentation of the Maryland Cup Trophy!

What is the competition?

Students can fundraise individually or in teams on behalf of their school, or as a school-wide initiative. This student-driven initiative will challenge participants to raise points through philanthropic activities in support of Ulman Foundation. Points will be awarded based on the following:

1 Point = $50 Raised
1 Point = 1 Hour Volunteered Per Participant

1 Point = 1 Hour of Education & Advocacy Per Group

Recognition and Impact

The winner of the Maryland Cup will be announced and celebrated through an in-school presentation or at Ulman House by Ulman Foundation. The winning school will receive a trophy to display and branded gear for all participating students.

The winning school will receive the following recognition:

  • A feature on Ulman Foundation’s website, social media channels and email newsletters. 
  • Acknowledgement at Ulman Foundation’s events, including our annual gala. 
  • Media coverage provided by Ulman Foundation’s dedicated media partner, WBAL, subject to availability.
