GIV3 is a campaign for giving. It is the initiative to encourage Canadians to give 3% of their income (before tax) and to volunteer 3 hours a month to charitable or non-profit organizations…to make a difference.

A $2 paper egg doesn’t seem much in the greater scheme of things. Multiply it by hundreds and thousands and that egg translates into transformational opportunities for hundreds of kids with disabilities.

In the weeks leading up to Easter, please visit one of our many participating retailers and partners and purchase a Paper Egg for Easter Seals kids.

Your $2 will go a long way.

Since it started in 2000, the Easter Seals Paper Egg campaign has raised more than $5 million, sending kids with disabilities to Easter Seals camps and providing Canadians and their families with invaluable support services and enhance their lives immeasurably.

For three weeks each spring, participating retailers encourage their customers to purchase and write their names on Paper Eggs, which store staff display in windows and on walls.  The result: a colourful display of community support across the country.

All funds support Easter Seals programs and services in the province where it was raised.

Paper Egg Campaign 2011 - March 28  – April 24

An Important Message to our Supporters:

Easter Seals places a high value on our relationship with you, our donors. Without your support we would not be able to achieve our mission to enhance the quality of life of Canadians with disabilities. We thank you for your commitment to us.

We believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success. With this in mind, we have recently joined Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program.

The Ethical Fundraising and Financial Accountability Code lays out a set of standards for charitable organizations to manage and report their financial affairs responsibly. By adhering to these standards, we are complying with generally accepted practices for soliciting and managing donor dollars. This is important because you, our supporters, are entitled to transparency and the greatest impact possible for your investment in us.

If you have any questions about our adherence to the Ethical Code, please feel free to contact Lisa Van Arem at lvanarem @ easterseals.ca, or request a copy of our financial statements. You can also download the Ethical Code itself by going to www.imaginecanada.ca.
