2011 Easter Seals Paper Egg

March 28 – April 24

The Easter Seals Paper Egg Campaign is a marketing, awareness and fundraising campaign of Easter Seals in support of Canadians with disabilities. For four weeks each spring, participating retailers and restaurants encourage their customers to purchase and write their names on Paper Eggs, which store and restaurant staff display in windows and on walls.

The accumulating Paper Eggs offer retailers and restaurants an effective public display of their community involvement and support. The Eggs create interest and prompt customers to inquire about the eggs and then join in. As the campaign progresses through the weeks, the visual impact of a growing number of Paper Eggs adds to the level of awareness of the campaign, Easter Seals and our partners.

Since it started in 2000, the Easter Seals Paper Egg campaign has raised millions of dollars for Easter Seals programs and services across Canada.  In 2010, Paper Egg participating partners collectively raised $766,352 for Easter Seals programs and services, such as Easter Seals camp, which serve the disability community. This year be sure to visit the participating retailers if you would like to sign your name to an egg (March 8 – April 24, 2011).
