"This charity holds a special place in our hearts. Several of our employees, clients, and their families have experienced incredible support from Easter Seals programs, including Camp Winfield and Easter Seals House in Vancouver which offers a “home away from home” for families travelling for medical treatments. Supporting Drop Zone Kelowna is our way of giving back to the community while making a difference in a cause that means so much to us. By sponsoring this event, we aim to raise awareness and funds to ensure that Easter Seals can continue to provide their invaluable services."

Since 1947, Easter Seals BC & Yukon has been providing programs and services to persons with disabilities and medical conditions. Over 1.1 million children and families have been helped through Easter Seals Camps, Easter Seals House, educational classes, community access services and post-secondary bursaries at regional colleges and universities.
Easter Seals Camps are a place where everyone is welcome and no one hears the word ‘no’. It’s a place where campers can be themselves, and explore and develop their abilities in a safe, warm, fun and supportive environment. Campers return home with new friendships, improved skills, and become more independent and active members of their communities. Camp offers both a magical experience for campers, and an important week of respite for families and caregivers.
Easter Seals House is a home-away-from-home for adults and families when they need to travel to Vancouver for medical treatment and is a place of respite for parents and caregivers needing a place to rejuvenate. It's a safe, affordable home they can count on to stay. Over 18,000 guests stay at the House every year.
