Week 8 of 52
This week the 52 Weeks of Giving in Memory of Wayne Gray will be supporting a cause that is familiar to a lot of Islanders, Easter Seals PEI. Easter Seals PEI is committed to enhancing the quality of life, self-esteem and self-determination of Islanders living with disabilities across the province.

-
Summer camps funding to allow many young children, youth and adults with disabilities
-
Horseback riding therapy
-
Students in schools receive funding to learn life skills, business skills such as running a store or learning to bake
-
Furnished classrooms to support young children that find it difficult to focus in a noisy classroom
-
Assistive hearing devices are provided to children to enjoy music therapy, pottery classes, walks and bike rides
-
Scholarships to students with disabilities that are attending post-secondary schooling
It is rewarding that we are able to assist in continuing the programming.
