General Information
Where do the funds go?
Your participation and gift helps Easterseals of Southeastern Pennsylvania provide life-changing services, such as physical, occupational, speech and behavior therapies, special education, assistive technology services, and supports to 2,000 children each year in Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. Your support also helps over 4,000 families each year begin their journey to help and hope through critical early intervention evaluations in Berks, Chester, Lehigh and Northampton counties. Easterseals is dedicated to providing exceptional services and meeting families where they are with the supports they need; $0.85 of every dollar supports direct client services. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the law.
Do I have to register in order to walk?
Yes, the zoo requires that all participants register to participate. You can register as an individual, create a team, or join an existing team. We encourage people to sign up as a team, making the event more fun and enhacing the sense of community, but we welcome all individual walkers.
Do I need to register my children to walk?
Yes, all children must be registered. Parents/guardians can register children online by clicking 'register another person' after you have completed your online registration form.
Is there a registration fee?
There is a $35 registration fee for walkers over the age of 12. Children age of 12 and younger are free, but donations are appreciated.
Thank you for providing help, hope and answers for children and adults with disabilities!
