Easter Seals Disability Services

Help Provide Help, Hope and Answers
For People with Disabilities and Their Families!

Get involved with the Bright Stars Campaign Today!

 Corporations, civic and community organizations can brighten the way for thousands of individuals with disabilities and their families by becoming sponsors of the Easter Seals Bright Stars Campaign. This is a unique, annual opportunity for area businesses -- from small companies to large corporations, in addition to community and civic organizations to assist Easter Seals in its mission to help those who need help, hope and answers.

The Easter Seals Bright Stars Campaign provides a night of fun and recreation for thousands of children and adults with disabilities and their families at a private performance of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.  This year’s event is at the Verizon Center in Washington DC, on Wednesday, March 17th at 7 p.m. 

Because of the generosity of many area individuals, families and corporations, the Bright Stars Campaign raises thousands of dollars that help provide help, hope and answers for 15,000+ people with disabilities and their families.

Your Bright Stars sponsorship directly impacts Easter Seals’ ability to create, sustain and expand services for those who need help the most whether a child with autism, a senior coping with Alzheimer’s disease or a family juggling work and caregiving responsibilities.  Help us provide more help, hope and answers in our community!

In appreciation of your sponsorship to the Bright Stars Campaign (based on the level of giving), you will receive tickets to the circus performance at the Verizon Center. And stretching your support even farther, matching tickets will be provided for individuals with disabilities and their families.

"This night provided a magical memory for my kids and my family."--Client Family

Be a hero for a person with a disability!
Join as a sponsor with your gift of $1,000 or more.  Check out the different levels of sponsorship available to you.   All sponsors of $1,000 or above will also become members of Easter Seals’ prestigious Presidents’ Council, a network of business leaders and caring individuals who share your commitment to disability issues.

Companies or civic groups will be especially glad to see the benefits that sponsorship brings.  Your designated tickets can be a great reward for your employees/members and their families in a nice family-friendly evening.  What group wouldn’t want to be part of that?

Visibility of your Bright Stars sponsorship is also a priority of Easter Seals.  Not only does your gift help us leverage additional support, we work hard to give you the recognition you deserve.  All sponsors will receive recognition on our website and on both event signage and inclusion in the event program at the Circle of Heroes Reception prior to the circus.

 "It was a great evening for building company spirit and employee morale."--Bright Stars Sponsor

Why should my organization/company join Easter Seals as a sponsor?
As a well-respected health charity serving people in our community, people will be glad to know that you support our work and feel pride in that affiliation.  Your employees or members will get to know each other better at a community event.  And if you are a company, your customers will know that you care about the community and disability issues in our community.  Customers being aware of that partnership with Easter Seals may help your bottom line.

How can my organization/company get involved?
