In the spotlight

Walk With Me group

Easter Seals Walk With Me is an event to raise awareness and support for families living with disabilities! Join hundreds of passionate people in your community for a day full of entertainment, fun and, of course, our signature walk! Every walk event is different -- your walk could be at a local school or at the aquarium. But every walk is a lifeline of funds that enables your local Easter Seals to continue providing vital services and support to people with disabilities and their families.

Easterseals Alaska has been helping individuals with disabilities and special needs, and their families, live better lives since 1946. Whether helping someone improve physical mobility, return to work or simply gain greater independence for everyday living, Easterseals offers a variety of services to help people with disabilities address life's challenges and achieve personal goals.

Primary Easterseals Alaska services include:

  • Personal Care Services

Easterseals Alaska also advocates for the passage of legislation to help people with disabilities achieve independence, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Passed in 1990, the ADA prohibits discrimination against anyone who has a mental or physical disability, guaranteeing the civil rights of people with disabilities.

At the core of the Easter Seals organization is a common passion for caring, shared by its staff members and volunteers, and by those who support its mission. This heart-felt commitment to helping people with disabilities and their families is what Easterseals Alaska is all about.
