The HOP-N-ING program created by the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center helps preschool/elementary students develop an understanding of disabilities and what it means for a child to have a disability. HOP-N-ING also explores how to be good friends to someone with a disability!

HOP-N-ING helps people in our community!

As part of the HOP-N-ING program, each student will hop as many times as he or she can in a time period. Students will be given a sponsor envelope, provided by Easterseals, to collect pledges from friends and relatives. Pledges can be flat donations or based on the number of times the student hops. Any returned envelopes are donated to the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center. Money collected will stay right here in the Tri-State, helping thousands of people served by the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center.
