The fourth annual “Be the Sunshine” campaign is a summer-long initiative in partnership with CVS Pharmacy, designed to support disability services for over 25,000 individuals in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Imperial, Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside and Ventura counties all summer long!

Each month, designated products are featured at participating CVS locations, with a portion of proceeds donated to Easterseals Disability Services.

The Impact of our "Be The Sunshine" Campaign

According to the CDC, 28.7% of U.S. residents, more than 70 million people across the country, have a disability. Of those, 23% live in California (more than 9 million), nearly 5.5 million of them in SoCal. One in 31 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with 1 in 26 kids in California diagnosed. Easterseals is SoCal’s largest provider of autism services.
