About Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay
Join us on Saturday, June 20th to Sunday, June 21st 2009 for the annual Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay to help support Ontario´s kids with physical disabilities, taking place in Toronto at Coronation Park (711 Lake Shore Blvd. W. at Strachan Ave.).
The Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay is dubbed Canada´s "Party with a Purpose," to help support children and youth with physical disabilities. This high-spirited team fundraising event combines camaraderie and friendly competitions, as teams come together for 24 hours of wacky activities and good clean fun.
2009 marks the 18th year for the 24 Hour Relay. To date, the Ontario Relay has raised over $7.3 million for children, youth and young adults with physical disabilities.
Easter Seals Ontario provides funding to families of children and youth with physical disabilities for costly equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, leg braces and communication devices. As children grow, most equipment must be replaced and can cost families between $10,000 and $40,000 a year. And, the need is greater than ever.
Register for the Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay with your family, friends, neighbours and colleagues for a memorable weekend that helps Easter Seals kids live their lives with a greater level of independence, accomplishment and dignity.
