October is the 75th observance of the National Disability Employment Awareness Month and I am excited to invite you to the Easterseals Rhode Island’s Race Toward Inclusion as a way to pay tribute to the accomplishments of people with disabilities and raise critical funds for Easterseals RI programming. 

Your participation and generous contributions will support ESRI’s efforts to help people with disabilities of all ages secure access to a variety of programs, such as:   

• Therapy for children who are experiencing developmental delays to optimal developmental milestones for continued success later in life
• Job exploration programs for middle school students and internship programs for high school and college students who are in special education
• Adult services including respite, supported employment, and job development. 

Each year, Easterseals RI helps over 800 people with disabilities and impacts the lives of thousands of families across Rhode Island. We rely on your contributions to provide high quality programs and services. COVID has had a negative impact on us all and disability service providers across the country are closing programs as the coronavirus pandemic wears on and many are unlikely to reopen. We need your support now more than ever. 

Please join us by participating in this fun virtual event and encourage others too! We have sponsorship opportunities available, email vbarokha@fedcap.org for more information. If you can’t participate, please consider making a donation online https://www.easterseals.com/rhodeisland/. And be sure to follow us on Facebook @eastersealsRI for more virtual fun!

Thank you for your support. We are excited to experience our first virtual race with you.
