Easter Seals donation for Easter, Ostara, or just plain Spring

[LostinVA]

I always like to donate to certain charities at certain times of the year -- not alot, because I don't have alot. During the Spring, I usually donate to Easter Seals Virginia. 90% of your donation goes to programs that help people in YOUR state... including sending disabled kids to Camp Easter Seals. Remember, they have programs all the way from infancy through retirement-aged adults. They do alot of good, work long hours for surprisingly little pay, and are truly dedicated individuals.

For any of my Virginia friends who may be interested:

1. Thanks - I never knew that Easter Seals has state programs

By the way, the page your link goes to "has been removed, changed or is temporarily unavailable."

Since spring is a time of rebirth, it's a nice idea to celebrate the universe's abundance by sharing a little of what we have with those who have less...

2. I just tried the link and it worked... strange

Yeah, I didn't know they had state programs until a few years ago. If you donate to the HQ, I have no idea where the money goes... but 90% does go to state programs if you donate directly to the state chapters. And, they ahve some great local programs.

The VA one is HQed in Richmond, I believe.
