2025 Annual Celebration

Thank You! 

On behalf of the entire Easterseals family, we extend our heartfelt thanks to you for making the 2025 Annual Celebration such a great success. Whether you joined us in person or supported us from afar, your connection to Easterseals made the evening possible. It was wonderful to come together as a community and celebrate building brighter futures for people with disabilities.  

Throughout the evening, we were reminded of why this mission matters so deeply. Families like the Pratzes shared how early intervention helped their daughter Penny take her first steps. We celebrated Cassie, who found her dream job in early childhood education, and Donald and Mary, whose lives have been enriched through Adult Day and Respite services. We also marked exciting new milestones at Camp Fairlee with the opening of a sensory-friendly cabin and a brand-new pool, made possible through the generosity of our donors and partners.  

The entire night reflected the heart of Easterseals: people coming together to create connection, opportunity, and hope. Whether you placed a bid in the Silent Art Auction, volunteered your time, sponsored the event, or simply joined us to celebrate, you helped build brighter futures for thousands across our region.  

If you’d like to revisit the celebration, check out our photo flipbook. Also, our digital program book highlights the stories, supporters, and sponsors who made the night so meaningful.  

Thank you for standing with Easterseals Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore. We’re so grateful for your partnership and can’t wait to share more moments of impact with you in the year ahead.  

With gratitude,  

Penny Saridakis
