Easterseals' premiere recognition club, the Presidents' Council, is comprised of friends who share the belief that everyone with a disability or developmental special need deserves access to quality, comprehensive and compassionate programs and services.
Any individual who provides an annual outright gift or gifts totaling $1,000 or more in a 12-month period is recognized in the Presidents' Council. Some friends pay in quarterly or monthly installments; others give a one-time gift each year. These are direct gifts to benefit programs, and are not related to special events or tickets sales or other premiums.
Friends contributing at the Presidents' Council level are making a vital difference--creating solutions that change lives. You can become a member of the Presidents' Council on several different levels:
