Easterseals to Honor John Vento and Ron “Moondog” Esser

Easterseals founder, Edgar Allen once stated, "Your life and mine shall be valued not by what we take...but by what we give." The fruits of a volunteer’s labors make a tangible impact, but perhaps it is the fact that they are willing to share their time and talent to lend a helping hand and to show kindness that makes the greatest difference in the lives of the individuals who are touched by their generosity. It can be difficult to express a suitable thank you for volunteering, so this at our 1st Partners in Equity Reception we will be thanking and honoring two well-deserving volunteers, John Vento and Ron “Moondog” Esser. They are founders of Band Together Pittsburgh. Join us on November 6th (more info at the link). The evening will be splendid!

Camps and Recreation Club Lily

A Can't Miss - Club Lily

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.
