How to Help Local Families During the 49th Annual Easterseals Telethon

Celebrating 80 Years Of Easterseals Impact

Let’s take a moment to celebrate one of Evansville’s true hometown heroes – Easterseals Rehabilitation Center. Since 1946 (that means this year is the 80^th anniversary), this incredible organization has been making a life-changing impact across the Tri-State, helping thousands of local families feel supported, included, and empowered every single day.

How Easterseals Supports Local Families

The Easterseals Rehabilitation Center serves almost 5,000 individuals with disabilities from a 31-county area spanning Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. Core services are offered on a sliding fee scale, regardless of ability to pay. All donations remain local to help provide inclusive early education and life-changing therapy services for Tri-State children and adults with disabilities.

What To Expect During The Annual Easterseals Telethon

The 49th Annual Easterseals Telethon is happening Friday, April 17, kicking off bright and early at 5 a.m. on ABC 25/CW7. It’s always one of the most inspiring days of the year, filled with powerful local stories, uplifting moments, and a whole lot of heart. And during the telethon, you will be introduced to Easterseals Youth Ambassador Paige Musgrove and Adult Ambassador Megan Durre, both of Evansville.
