EasterSealsSunday is the annual Easter Seals Telethon.  It’s an event where children with physical challenges have an opportunity to have normal life experiences, through various physical and communication equipment made possible through donations. Easter Seals filled more than 11 hundred requests for Financial Assistance last year.  That money went towards the purchase of equipment — but 17 families remained on waiting list.  Half of all families that requested financial assistance from Easter Seals last year had an annual income of less than 40 thousand dollars.  Just over one quarter had a total family income of under 20 thousand dollars.  The telethon can be seen on Shaw channel 10 from 12:00 noon until 7:00 p.m.
