Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley sets $90,000 goal for Giving Tuesday Nov. 27

Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley turns uncertainty into possibility for infants and children with developmental delays and disabilities.

Each week, more than 1,000 children come through our doors in Villa Park, Naperville and Elgin to build skills and access resources they need to live, learn, work and play.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It kicks off the charitable giving season and has grown exponentially since its inception in 2012.

The 24-hour goal on Nov. 24 will be $90,000. These funds will provide life-changing therapy services to children with disabilities and their families.

Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley offers multi-discipline therapy services to provide expert solutions to each child's needs from a mild developmental delay, complex disability or undiagnosed concern. With more than 64 percent of the children they serve under the age of 6, they know that an early start leads to greater outcomes!

Whether you're able to contribute $25 or $250, you will help more children with developmental delays and disabilities build the skills they need to live, learn, work and play. Your donation will support a child's needs for today and their family's goals for tomorrow.
