Celebrating Our Common Threads
30th Annual Easterseals Tribute
Our lives have all been touched by uncertainty and distance in 2020. At the same time, we are rediscovering the power of connection through our common threads — the shared values that connect our community yesterday, today and tomorrow.
This year, we dedicate our 30th Annual Easterseals Tribute to our common threads — family, friendship, love, joy and growth — but especially family. We honor our Easterseals families who have recently become teacher, therapist, counselor and playmate to their kids.
We are stronger together. Celebrate with us and share your thread.
