Introducing Move Our Mission!
In 1993, the first Easterseals Massachusetts 24-hour Relay Walk With Me event was held at Brandeis University. In 1999, it evolved into the 5K Walk With Me fundraiser, held at several locations throughout the state. In 2020, it blossomed into Move With Me, a month-long opportunity for our supporters to get creative with how they “move” to raise awareness and funds for the important programs at ESMA. At the end of the month, we celebrated together in person for The Final Lap.
Starting this January, we are excited to begin a new chapter that supports our mission in an even more meaningful way! Move Our Mission is now a year-long campaign that lets everyone make a positive impact by featuring their favorite activities as a fundraiser at any time of year!
Pick something meaningful to you to fundraise your way. Activities may include a cornhole tournament, a bake sale, a birthday fundraiser, a craft night, or anything else! Every dollar and every idea helps Move Our Mission forward for individuals with disabilities in Massachusetts. ESMA staff will be by your side throughout Move Our Mission, ready to assist with fundraising efforts and answer any questions that come up along the way. For support, please reach out to us at philanthropy@eastersealsma.org.
