from our friends.

Duncan Hawthorne,
President and CEO, Bruce Power
Jessica Holmes,
Actress & Comedian
“Easter Seals children have inspired me to
give and have moved me to encourage
others to support them. When you see a
child with a disability and you see the
effort it takes to do things that many of
us take for granted, you are moved.”
“Before I had kids, I thought about all the
joy these kids got out of going to camp,
so I got involved. Now that I’m a parent,
I think about the joy these parents must
feel, seeing their kids experience fun and
accessibility the way they deserve to.
I’m so glad to be involved.”
Don Ferguson, Actor
“If the essence of good citizenship
is making society a better place,
then Easter Seals is a model citizen.
From my experience as an Easter
Seals volunteer, I know that anyone
who gets involved will have their own
lives changed for the better.”
Christine Simpson,
Features Reporter, SportsNet
“I’ve been involved in Easter Seals for almost 20
years through the Conn Smythe Sports Celebrities
Dinner & Auction. Each year at the dinner we
hear directly from the Easter Seals Ambassadors
how their lives have been touched by the support
Easter Seals gives them. There’s no
question that our society is richer for
the work that Easter Seals does.”
Carolyn Waldo,
Canadian Synchronized
Swimmer and Olympic
Gold Medalist
Scott Morrison,
Executive Producer, Hockey, SportsNet
“I have had the great pleasure of doing work with Easter
Seals for close to 20 years, with the Conn Smythe Dinner
and serving on the Board of Directors. There are times,
I admit, when I wonder about the work load and then I
see and meet the kids who benefit from the great work of
Easter Seals and I carry on with my volunteering. To know
just a little about what these kids go through and to know
how hard they try, you can’t help pull for them and
want to help them and applaud all the great people
involved with Easter Seals for their efforts.”
Elizabeth Manley,
Canadian Figure Skater,
1988 Olympic Silver Medalist,
1988 World Silver Medalist
“Easter Seals Ontario is a wonderful
organization that helps our children in
need. It’s with honour that I am apart of
this organization and able to help all
those that truly need the love and
support. I’m here for the long run!”
“There is no greater gift than
seeing a child smile! Easter Seals
has helped make that happen,
providing support for families
who need it most. It’s been an
honour to support such a
wonderful organization!”
Adriano Belli,
Toronto Argonauts Team Member
“Easter Seals is such an incredible
organization. They bring joy and
happiness to children and their
families that are in great need
of assistance. As a professional
athlete for over 12 years
I have been so lucky to be
a part of their initiatives.
Big Kiss Adriano”
