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
