More than 87 percent of Easter Seals Southwest Florida revenue goes directly to support the programs and services provided to our local families. For over 60 years, we have been providing high quality services to this community - since the organization first began as Happiness House - a school and clinic for children with disabilities. All funds raised by Easter Seals Southwest Florida stay in our area to benefit our local children, adults and their families.
Donations to Easter Seals Southwest Florida are needed so that we can continue to provide the high quality services currently available. As government funding for these programs continue to be reduced, more private support is needed… Please consider an online donation today.
