I want to personally thank each and every UBA Partner who gave to the Health Underwriters Political Action Committee (HUPAC) during the Q4/141 Challenge. This challenge meant that when UBA Partners collectively donated to HUPAC during the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2016 (October 1 through December 31, 2016), UBA matched donations dollar-for-dollar. UBA also donated a special bonus of $500 for each Partner who signed up for automated monthly giving.

I am happy to report that we had a total of 29 UBA Partners (see below) who gave during the Q4/141 Challenge and we exceeded our goal of $25,000! These Partners donated $13,355, but when you add that to UBA's matching contributions (including two $500 bonuses for automated monthly giving), the grand total raised was $27,710 -- a whopping 10.8 percent more than our goal!
