What is the #UnstoppABLE® Paper Egg Campaign?

The annual  #UnstoppABLE® Paper Egg Campaign is one of Easter Seals’ signature national fundraising and awareness initiatives. Part of our “March is Easter Seals Month” celebrations, the #UnstoppABLE® Paper Egg Campaign is a grassroots fundraising effort that brings individuals and communities all across Canada together to raise funds for Canadians living with disabilities.

Each Spring, Easter Seals’ retail partners in cities and towns all across the country will encourage their customers to make a donation to Easter Seals at their at the store’s checkout counters. In return for a donation, customers will receive a Paper Egg (aka #UnstoppABLE® seal) which they are then invited to sign with their name. The Paper Eggs/seals are then  proudly put up on store windows and walls to create a powerful display of support.

If you’re unable to get to a store, you can also participate support Easter Seals and the #UnstoppABLE® Paper Egg Campaign by making a donation online at www.paperegg.ca and send a personalized Easter Seals Spring e-Card to your family and friends.

Funds raised through the Campaign enable Easter Seals to deliver a variety of programs and services for Canadians living with disabilities.

As a charitable organization, Easter Seals relies on donations and goodwill from Canadians, in addition to funds raised via other sources (e.g., grants from foundations and government, corporate donations) to enable us to fulfil our mandate to provide programs and services that support the well-being, independence, and development of Canadians living with disabilities, and so that they may achieve their goals and aspirations.

At Easter Seals, we recognize that many Canadians want to help and contribute to making Canada an inclusive and accessible society for people of all abilities. So fundraising initiatives such as the #UnstoppABLE® Paper Egg Campaign is one of the ways in which Easter Seals provides Canadians with various options and ways to support the organization’s work.  Inviting Canadians to make a donation at cash registers in participating stores provides a convenient opportunity for people to voluntarily make a small contribution to support this important cause. This is particularly useful for individuals who would like to support Easter Seals but who may not be able to contribute/donate by other means (e.g., unable to make an online donation because they do not possess a credit card).

#UnstoppABLE® Paper Eggs/seals are available at many participating stores and retail locations across the country. For a full list of participating stores in your province, check the list here at www.paperegg.ca.
