Join 1,000s on October 9 for Bigger, Better Giving Through Donor Advised Funds

Dear Friend,

On Thursday, October 9, a powerful movement calls us all to action. Join 1,000s of generous donors who are uniting through their Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) to make bigger, more transformative gifts to Easterseals and fuel life-changing programs.

Here’s why your participation matters: :

  • Your DAF gift is safe, easy, and deeply impactful. It helps support millions of people across the country who rely on Easterseals’ comprehensive services each year.
  • 90 cents of every dollar Easterseals raises goes directly to services that touch lives, from early childhood and therapy programs to employment training and veteran support.
  • Through real stories of children like Katelyn, and veterans rebuilding their futures, as well as entrepreneurial ventures like Leandro’s coffee cart; we see how your generosity translates into strengthened families, independence, and community ties.
  • Easterseals has created impactful reach—serving multiple needs across whole-person care, growing programs nationwide, and showing measurable results with both data and heartfelt stories.

This October 9, let’s make your DAF gift part of something bigger. You have the power to amplify outcomes and transform lives—together with thousands who share your vision.

Take action now! Support Easterseals by donating from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF). Use this link to donate with DAFpay. It's safe, easy, and impactful.

Thank you for considering this timely, meaningful way to give—on October 9, let’s turn generosity into a lasting difference in so many lives.

Warm regards,
Dr. Deborah McGaughey
