Tickets and TablesFor over 75 years, Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut has provided critical services and powerful advocacy so that people with disabilities and active military and veterans are provided with the resources they need to achieve their full potential in life. With tailored services in education, health, employment, and community, Easterseals is helping people – regardless of age or ability – participate fully in the community and in life. In schools, workplaces and communities, Easterseals is fostering an environment where every one of us is included and valued, respected and accepted in all aspects of society.
This July, Easterseals Capital Region proudly celebrates Disability Pride Month with a special PSA, "Disability is not a Dirty Word." Disability Pride is about being unapologetically who you are and recognizing the disability community's incredible contributions as problem solvers, creative thinkers, and innovators. Let's celebrate and uplift the disability community together! View the PSA below.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our very own Dave Stevens, Easterseals Board Member and passionate disability advocate, who was recently honored with the Denise D’Ascenzo Human Spirit Award. This award celebrates individuals who embody Denise’s legacy of openness, courage, and kindness—qualities Dave exemplifies in all he does. Watch Dave’s inspiring acceptance speech here where he shares what this recognition means to him and how Denise’s light continues to guide us all.
Thank you to the Denise D’Ascenzo Foundation for helping us empower veterans and strengthen our community. Together, we honor Denise’s legacy and work toward a brighter future for all.
