Easter Seals Disability Services

Get Involved and Support Easter Seals!

Helping people with disabilities is what we do at Easter Seals... but we can't do it alone. One way to get involved is participating in an Easter Seals event. Walk, run, dance at a gala, bid in a silent auction, golf -- there's something for everyone. Visit this site often for updated information on events in your area!
