Corporate Sponsors -- Fraternal Order of Police

The Fraternal Order of Police and its Auxiliary have provided support to Easter Seals for 32 years.  As a national corporate partner, the Fraternal Order of Police has raised more than $15 million to help Easter Seals make a difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities throughout the country.

"Easter Seals has provided us with a way to give back to the communities in which we live," says National FOP President Chuck Canterbury. "Many of us know someone who has been helped by Easter Seals, and the FOP's commitment to Easter Seals ensures the services and support people with disabilities and their families need are there. Working with Easter Seals and seeing the great work they do for people and families brings the FOP and its members great satisfaction and joy."

As the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers with 2,100 lodges and more than 325,000 members nationwide, the FOP has provided Easter Seals with strong support, particularly through volunteerism, throughout the years. The FOP also is the premier sponsor of Easter Seals’ CAMP HOPE initiative - a program designed to provide a week-long camping experience for the children of service members and support to families learning to live with a service member facing newly acquired disabilities.  FOP and Auxiliary members are impressed with the impact their support of Easter Seals has on the lives of individuals served by the organization.

FOP/Easter Seals National Committee Chairman Rocky Nowaczyk credits his long-term personal support of Easter Seals to the people with disabilities who have realized personal goals and achieved greater independence in their lives as a result of Easter Seals programs. "Seeing a child with a disability enter public school or an adult with a disability secure a job because of the services and support Easter Seals provides to them makes me and members of the FOP very proud of the part we play in helping to make these successes a reality through our support of this terrific cause," Nowaczyk says.
