ST JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL
One of ESA’s major philanthropic projects is helping St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1972, ESA adopted the hospital as its international philanthropic project. As a result of ESA’s relationship with ALSAC, St. Jude’s fundraising arm, ESA raises well above $12 million in cash and pledges each year for the hospital. Members of ESA are the most dedicated and hardworking volunteers.
HOPE FOR HEROES
ESA first began supporting the troops rolling bandages in World War II, and while the needs of our brave military members and veterans have changed over the decades, our desire to support them has not. ESA members across the country through our Hope for Heroes program support not only large national charities but also scores of local military support organizations and individual service members. Whether organizing a Veterans’ Day parade for the whole community or quietly making Christmas happen for one deserving military family in our hometown, we love supporting those who sacrifice so much for us.
EASTER SEALS
Easterseals is the leading non-profit provider of services for individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, physical and mental disabilities, and other special needs. For more than 85 years, Easterseals has been offering help and hope to children and adults living with disabilities, and to the families who love them. Through therapy, training, education and support services, Easterseals creates life-changing solutions so that people with disabilities can live, learn, work and play in their communities.
For over 25 years, ESA has been a supporter of Easterseals, raising more than $6 million.
