Together, Team Hoyt + Team Easter Seals share the belief that children and adults with disabilities should have equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play even to compete in marathons if that’s where their dreams take them.
Be sure to ask your friends, family members, coworkers and employer to make a donation, too! We hope we can count on your support. And we hope you’ll be at the marathon on April 19 to cheer on Team Hoyt in their run for Easter Seals.
“Easter Seals has done a lot for the Hoyt family. We wanted to give something back.” – Dick Hoyt
