It all started 57 years ago in the backyards of the Crooks and Dovey families. The infamous Turkey Bowl was born. Over the years the Bowl continued adding uniforms and officials and rules! In 1971 the teams became the Bears and Bulls. Their most significant decision regarding the annual tussle was made in 1972 when the players decided to use the game to raise money for the Easterseals, helping children and adults with Speech and Hearing Disabilities, Autism, and other Developmental Delays. To date, the Turkey Bowl has raised over $600 thousand for Easterseals! To donate to this long-running tradition, follow the link or contact Sandy Roush via sroush@eastersealswcpenna.org. Thank you Bulls and Bears!

Any time is a great time to talk about one of our camp programs – Club Lily. Easterseals Western and Central PA’s Club Lily program is a camp opportunity specifically for adults, 18 and up, with any disability/special need. And, when we say 18 and up, we mean it! Our oldest camper in 2018 was 77; proving that you are never too old to enjoy the fun of camp. How can you not have fun when there is wall climbing, zip lining, boating, fishing, arts and crafts, games, sports, pool time, campfires, special evening activities and more.
