Easter Seals (National Easter Seal Society)
Monday, 15 April 2002

For the first time, Easter Seals is offering the public the opportunity to own original seals artwork. Easter Seals has used decorative stamps to support its mission for nearly 70 years. Monday, April 15, through Thursday, April 25, Easter Seals will auction this year's original seal artwork on eBay -- the same designs featured on the 2002 Easter seals.

Original artwork will be auctioned on eBay --Easter Seals is a featured charity on the eBay charity site. To view and purchase artwork, Easter Seals' "About Me Page" or enter "Easter Seals" in the search field provided throughout eBay.

Local artists from across the country contributed the six original lily drawings and paintings used in these latest seals. A variety of media was used to create the lily designs including watercolors, acrylic paints, colored pencils and more. Net proceeds support Easter Seals' mission to create solutions that change lives of children and adults with disabilities or other special needs and their families.

For more than 80 years, Easter Seals has been providing services that help children and adults with disabilities gain greater independence. Our primary services medical rehabilitation, job training and employment, inclusive child care, adult day services, and camping and recreation benefit more than 1 million individuals and their families each year at one of 400 centers nationwide.
