Almost five years ago, I joined the Board of Easterseals Eastern Pennsylvania and found this small organization to be extremely important in the lives of the 3,000 individuals - and their families - who rely on them every year. The early intervention; physical, speech and occupational therapy; camps; community supports; and vocational preparation are just some of the programs that are essential to improving the quality of life for those less fortunate than we are. Every contribution, whatever the size, helps keep these programs and assistance available to infants through adults with disabilities. Any contribution to the annual giving campaign helps support this valuable work. Thank you for your consideration.
Every gift helps create a world where individuals with disabilities are empowered to reach their full potential. Your support removes barriers, opens doors, and builds brighter futures filled with possibility and promise. At Easterseals Eastern PA, we champion inclusion, celebrate every achievement, and work hand-in-hand with individuals and families to ensure that everyone has the chance to live a life of purpose, connection, and opportunity.
Easterseals Eastern Pennsylvania creates life-changing solutions for individuals with disabilities and their families in their community by increasing independence, maximizing opportunities, minimizing barriers and enhancing quality of life.
