What are Easter Seals?
Easter “seals” are stamp-like seals that were first created in 1934 to raise money for services benefiting children with disabilities. Then known as the National Society for Crippled Children, the organization was re-named “Easter Seals” in 1967, reflecting the public’s awareness and acceptance of the campaign.
The Easter Seals is an organization which helps people of all ages with disabilities such as autism. The organization uses specially designed seals for stationery as part of its fundraising efforts, and these seals are also known as “Easter Seals.” Despite the very Christian symbolism of the lily used in the organization’s logo, the Easter Seals are not affiliated with any religious practice, and they offer services to all individuals with disabilities regardless as to gender, race, class, or creed.
