Bill Blumer

Welcome to my personal fundraising page for the 2023 Easterseals Eastern PA annual campaign. It’s been my honor to serve on the board, currently as the board chair. It’s given me a front row seat to all the fantastic work the dedicated team at Easterseals does for people with disabilities living in our community. I’m amazed at the ever-expanding footprint of the organization across Berks County, the Lehigh Valley and the Pocono region. I’m also impressed with the wide variety of services Easterseals offers from early intervention services for young children to autism diagnostic services that can open the door to services for families with children on the autism spectrum, to individualized physical, occupational and speech therapy services for children of all ages, and job training for young adults. It’s all part of unlocking each person’s fullest potential and supporting their families. Please join me in supporting the vital work of Easterseals Eastern PA. Every dollar helps and your dollars help most of all. To learn more about Easterseals Eastern PA and the wonderful work it does, please visit www.easterseals.com/esep. You’ll be amazed at the scope of the services offered and the numbers of lived touched, and you’ll see how vital your support can be. Thank you.

Meet Harrison

Harrison is a bright and friendly child diagnosed with autism. His relationship with Easterseals began through the Early Intervention program. Both of his parents work in the education field and they wanted to make sure Harrison would be prepared for the demands of school. So just prior to the start of kindergarten, they initiated outpatient services for both speech-language and occupational therapy.
