“We have but one life to live. We get nothing out of that life except by putting something into it. To relieve suffering, to help the unfortunate, to do kind acts and deeds is, after all, the one sure way to secure happiness or to achieve real success. Your life and mine shall be valued not by what we take … but by what we give.”

The essence of Easter Seals is family, envisioned by our founder, Edgar F. Allen in 1922. Our Easter Seals family includes our clients and their families, our volunteers, our donors, our staff, and the many who become involved in our communities.
We all have the chance to become angels of change as we work to
realize Allen’s vision of a nation and a global community where Lou Lowenkron James E. Williams, Jr. children and adults with disabilities are accepted and welcomed as participants.
Edgar Allen was honored this year when The Extra Mile: the National Volunteer Pathway memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C. As one of a select few, he was recognized for his vision and dedication to creating a better world for children with disabilities.
Edgar Allen lost his son in a streetcar accident on Memorial Day weekend in 1907. Had there been a hospital in his town of Elyria, near Cleveland, his son might have lived. Allen’s response to this personal tragedy was to sell his business and use the profits to build the Elyria Memorial Hospital. At the time he wrote, “I had spent all my life with the thought of two things: business and my family. This was the turning point.”
At the hospital, Allen met a young orphan named Jimmie Bodak who needed new crutches and therapy. It was Jimmie who first called Allen “Daddy,” and moved him to create a network of community-based organizations dedicated to serving people with disabilities and their families.
Allen’s vision is as real today as it was in 1922. It inspires us as we assess where we are, and look to the future. It inspires our Easter Seals family to go the extra mile, whether it is rallying to protect funding for services or gathering the family to provide help after devastating floods and hurricanes.
Together we face the challenge of helping people with disabilities in extraordinary times, sharing our expertise to provide access to needed services and support. Easter Seals carries Allen’s vision forward, working with children and adults with disabilities to create solutions that change lives and a society where everyone is included.
We celebrate our family and friends who share our dedication to helping children and adults with disabilities through Easter Seals’ exceptional services. We thank our champions who work to influence public policy, and the millions of people who give their time, talent and treasure to make “Daddy” Allen’s vision a reality. They are truly angels of change.

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Easter Seals, Inc. (an Ohio not-for-profit corporation) as of August 31, 2004, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Easter Seals, Inc. as of August 31, 2004, and the changes in its net assets, its cash flows and its functional expenses for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

O U R V I S I O N Edgar F. Allen, 1922, Founder of Easter Seals
The National Society for Crippled Children aspires to assume a responsibility and to discharge a duty. It wishes to be instrumental in effecting good,—intelligent in the application of help to those who are themselves helpless. It wishes to see repaired the tragedies of nature and accidents which are registered upon the bodies of little children. It wishes to see that the bent are straightened, the broken repaired, and the work strengthened.
While with many this may be a vision, yet, with us it is a reality.
We can show you the mysteries of a horribly mis-shapen pair of feet changing under the skill of the surgeon to a set of normal feet, and a pitiful, hobbling child converted to a romping, racing youngster.
We can show you the mystery of a distorted back, emerging gradually, but surely, from mis-shape to true-shape; from crookedness to straight-ness; from a curve to a line.
We can show you the mystery of a human being; the home of an immortal soul, supposed to be created in the image of God Himself; coming to a hospital walking on hands and feet, and some months later standing upright, looking his fellows in the face and out of the fullness of a grateful heart, saying “This is the first time I ever stood erect”.
The realization of this vision is charity for those who need it, a philanthropy which may be accepted without wounding self-respect. It is a benefaction for the curable young who lack the price of remedy.
Yes, more than this. We hope not only to contribute to the building of brighter souls in sounder bodies, but also to light new glows in the hearts of the parents of the crippled. Is there one of us who by the grace of God is more fortunate, that can sound the depth of a mother’s pain when she observes the children of others delighting in the gifts of play while her own remains footbound?
In our work for crippled children we seek the sympathetic friendship of all who agree that human sympathy for human suffering is the motive spirit of civilization. The accomplishment of this object, this hope, and this aim is our desire, and we trust that the year 1922 will make it a reality in thousands of lives and hearts. LR-AR 10/19/05 1:49 PM Page 64
