Easterseals is a great representative of the Walnut Hills community. Its diversity across all layers of the organization, from top to bottom and side to side, characterizes the spirit and life of Walnut Hills. As a longtime board member and resident of Walnut Hills, I couldn’t be more proud of the mission, values, and work of Easterseals, and I AM excited for its future.
-Kathryne Gardette, Prestige AV and Creative Services, 2020 President of Walnut Hills Area Council, and former board member
My grandfather was one of our millions of American heroes who honorably served in our military. Let’s rally to support each one of them and their amazing families.

This is really a case where you’re not donating money, you’re investing money into the community — investing into people and into their futures. There clearly is a return on this. People emerge out of this experience with Easterseals renewed, rejuvenated, and with a path in front of them toward independence and success.
- Kevin Dougherty, Retired Group VP,
The Kroger Co.
Our entire family has been involved with Easterseals for several years but only recently experienced first-hand the true power of work that its people and programs provide. It’s an amazing organization that instills pride in the people it serves, gives purpose to those in need, and creates brighter futures for everyone it touches.
- Pam Weber, Senior VP, PNC Bank and Easterseals Board Member
For over 15 years, Easterseals has been an invaluable partner with Messer in furthering the goal of increasing diversity in the ranks of construction workers. The combination of Messer’s ability to teach the technical skills required and Easterseals’ ability to support new workers with work hardening and the soft skills needed has opened real career opportunities to the clients of Easterseals.
- Kathy C. Daly, Retired SVP and CFO, Messer Construction
