EASTER SEALS KIDS ARE REACHING NEW HEIGHTS

Easter Seals children and youth with physical disabilities are reaching new heights. There is no limit to the heights the human spirit can soar!

The BMO Financial Group Easter Seals Gala Ball is a black-tie affair, featuring a reception, dinner, dancing, as well as silent and live auctions. BMO Financial Group and Easter Seals host the annual gala to help children and youth with physical disabilities reach new heights. This year will celebrate the newly expanded camp facilities and high ropes course at Easter Seals Camp Woodeden that provide new, exciting challenges, and opportunities to develop independence. Gala guests will see first hand that there is no limit to the heights the human spirit can soar.

The Honourary Chair is Thomas E. Flynn, Executive Vice-President and Chief Risk Officer, BMO Financial Group, in tribute to Honourary Chair Emeritus, Karen Maidment, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, BMO Financial Group. BMO Financial Group returns as title sponsor for the seventh year.

$3.9 Million since 1986

Since 1986, the Gala Ball has raised over $3.9 million for children with physical disabilities. Money raised provides financial assistance for equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs and communication devices. It also provides once-in-a-lifetime camping experiences at our Easter Seals camps and funding of Recreational Choices such as day camps, swimming and art classes. Easter Seals owns and operates two renowned fully accessible camps in Ottawa and London for children with physical disabilities to attend.
