Easter Seals Disability Services

Get Involved & Support Easter Seals Through our Events!

Helping people with disabilities is what we do at Easter Seals... but we can't do it alone. One way to get involved is by participating in an Easter Seals event. Whether it is playing a round of golf, tasting wine, enjoying a root beer float, feeding your palate, bidding on auction items -- there's something for everyone. Visit this site often for updated information on upcoming events!
