Hero Squad member overview, characteristics, and responsibilities
Overview
Who can resist a man who knows the difference between a wedge and a platform pump? From hunky husbands to foxy firefighters, the Hero Squad is one of the highlights of a WW&S event. These fit and friendly guys may look like models, but they are men from the community who donate their time to support the cause and are willing to brave a party full of women. Presenting the latest shoe styles on silver trays, a Hero Squad member will share fun facts on the art of wine and shoe pairing, promote auction lots, hand out the ever-popular swag bags and take on other entertaining tasks. How many men have you met can match Manolos with Merlot? With a little training, our UHCCF Hero Squad can.
They will receive a free crash course on ladies’ shoes and fine wine (great information for impressing women). A great way to volunteer for a fantastic favorite charity. Most of them admit the events are simply a really good time and a great way to meet people.
If you are interested in volunteering or know someone who would be a perfect Hero Squad member in the cities that UHCCF is holding these fantastic events, please contact us.

Mission Statement
The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides medical grants to help children gain access to health-related services not covered, or not fully covered, by their parents’ commercial health insurance plan.
Families can receive up to $5,000 annually per child ($10,000 lifetime maximum per child), and do not need to have insurance through UnitedHealthcare to be eligible.
UHCCF was founded in 1999. Since 2007, UHCCF has awarded more than 8,500 grants valued at over $26M to children and their families across the United States. UHCCF’s funding is provided by contributions from individuals, corporations and UnitedHealth Group employees.
Description
The Foundation embraces and supports the concept of facilitating access to health-related services that have the potential to significantly enhance either the clinical condition or the quality of life of the child and that are not fully covered by the available commercial health insurance plan. The Foundation provides financial assistance toward the family's share of the cost of medical services.
