What do I do with cash and checks that I receive from people sponsoring me in the Walk?
Donors should make checks payable to Easter Seals. Write your name on all sponsor's checks so you are properly credited, and bring these donations to the event itself. If you receive donations after the event, you can mail these contributions to the local affiliate that is organizing your Walk.
Our Easter Seals clients want you to know that your fund-raising efforts will make a difference in the life of someone with a disability. Your efforts are appreciated and recognized.
Easter Seals and its affiliate organizations are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with tax-exempt status and are designated as public charities.
