The Advocacy Awards gala celebration brings together leaders in business, government relations, and professional services, along with military and government dignitaries. They unite to support vital Easterseals programs and to honor advocates who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to advancing opportunities for children and adults with disabilities, veterans and military families, and low-income families.

One of Washington, DC's premier networking events, the Advocacy Awards has generated more than $8 million since 2004. These funds help Easterseals continue its vital programs and services that strengthen our entire community.
