While the results of the ninth annual Easter Seals Paper Egg campaign are not quite in, Sal Calderone can testify that the campaign did well.

Calderone is the proprietor of Three Star Printing, which has printed the Paper Egg materials since the campaign’s inception in 2001. Every year during the four weeks leading to Easter, participating retailers such as The Bargain! Shop, Lawtons Drugs, Sobeys Ontario and Price Chopper sell colourful Paper Eggs in support of Easter Seals programs and services.

A number of stores quite often call for more Paper Eggs because they sell out. Despite ordering thousands of Paper Eggs, some provincial Easter Seals organizations find they don’t have enough to meet with demand and turn to Calderone to send more.

Happily Calderone uses the latest technology to provide a quick turnaround while maintaining high quality.

“We are proud to have been chosen as part of the team to print for the Paper Egg campaign since the beginning,” says Calderone. “Its success over the years has brought greater quantities to its high demand and a closer relationship with Easter Seals.”

Calderone is also able to provide affordable rates while enabling Easter Seals provincial offices to customize their materials and ensure that they are Forest Steward Council (FSC) Certified.

Easter Seals proudly introduced its new Paper Egg this year, which featured a three dimensional chick in a wheelchair. The creative, which was piloted by Easter Seals Manitoba in 2009, required preproduction customization for each participating provincial organization, which Three Star expertly provided.

Three Star Printing Inc. has been in business since 1993. At present, Three Star Printing Inc. services approximately 80 clients including six charitable organizations. Three Star Printing helps Easter Seals keep costs low to maximize revenue for Easter Seals’ programs and services.

The Paper Egg Campaign

MARCH 12 – APRIL 8, 2012

By signing your name to a simple egg, thousands will make a difference in the lives of Canadians with disabilities!

Celebrating it’s 12th anniversary, The Paper Egg Campaign sees retailers and restaurants across the country sell Paper Eggs to raise awareness for Easter Seals programs and services. For four weeks leading up to Easter, Eggs are sold for $2 each ($1 in Saskatchewan) and all proceeds support local programs in three key areas:
  • Unique, life-changing camp programs for kids with disabilities;
  • Assistive technology and mobility devices to maximize independence for Canadians with disabilities; and
  • Community support such as employment services and local sport programs to inspire active, productive lives in the populations we serve.
Buy a Paper Egg when you shop at one of our retail partners and you’ll help improve the lives of the 146,000 Canadians who rely on Easter Seals programs each year.

Since the launch of the program in 2000, the campaign has raised $6.5 million for Easter Seals. Last year alone, Paper Egg participating partners collectively raised $822,466.
