Other Info

Easter Seals Walk With Me is a national fundraising event to raise awareness and support for families living with disabilities!

Individual walkers and teams join hundreds of other passionate people in their communities for a day full of entertainment, fun and, of course, our signature walk! Since 2003, over 150,000 people have participated in 500 Walk With Me events nationwide generating over $30 million to support families at Easter Seals. This year, you can help Easter Seals accomplish even more!

Each participant's motivation to walk is unique; it may be for themself, a child of a loved one, a neighbor or a colleague. 20% of the US population lives with a disability today- like autism, which has become a significant issue for too many families. We walk for them, their future and the families who love them. Walk With Me to help people with disabilities live, learn, work and play.
