25th Annual Easter Seals Home Run Sweeps ALL CASH RAFFLE proceeds stay in the Tri-State. Grand prize is $100,000 CASH!

Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center officials in Evansville, IN, have announced that tickets are now available for the 25th annual Easter Seals “Home Run Sweeps” ALL CA$H Raffle.  The annual fundraiser underwrites therapy services at the nonprofit organization, which serves more than 5,400 children and adults with disabilities from a 30-county area of southwestern Indiana, southern Illinois, and western Kentucky.

Easter Seals Child Representative Abby Wells of Newburgh, IN, made an appearance at a January 5^th press conference to help announce the start of ticket sales. Ten-year-old Abby was born with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.  She and her mother, Amy Wells, spoke about the progress Abby has made because of ongoing therapy. Children from the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center’s Dan & Nancy Mitchell Therapeutic Preschool also helped kick off the raffle, which offers one grand prize of $100,000 CASH; one 2^nd prize of $10,000; and one 3^rd prize of $5,000. 

As always, all “Home Run Sweeps” ALL CA$H Raffle proceeds will fund physical, occupational and speech therapy for Tri-State indviduals with disabilities who couldn’t otherwise afford those life-changing services.  The Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center offers a sliding fee scale, and no one is turned away due to inability to pay for therapy.
