Sophisticated Giving: Easter Seals Cardinal Hill

Easter Seals Cardinal Hill provides exceptional services so children and adults of all abilities can LIVE, LEARN, WORK and PLAY in our communities. Our organization began serving Kentucky children and adults with disabilities in 1923. The need for these services grew with the polio epidemic outbreak over seventy years ago. Lessons learned from that era have been helpful now as we have found innovative ways in continuing our mission during this pandemic.

Almost a century later, our mission ALL ABILITIES. LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES appropriately describe services provided by Easter Seals Cardinal Hill today. Our programs include:

• Adaptive Recreation: Promotes healthy and active lifestyles for people with physical disabilities through education, exposure to adaptive equipment for increased independence and fun experiences in the community.

• Adult Day Health: Providing medical, social services, and full range of daily activities for individuals who have developmental, intellectual and/or physical disabilities.

• Creative Beginnings Child Development Center: An inclusive and interactive learning environment for children six weeks to kindergarten. • Pediatric Therapy: Serves children of all ages who need Occupational, Physical, and/or Speech Therapies. Typical diagnosis treated include but are not limited to Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, Feeding Issues and Developmental Delay.

• HorseAbility: A summer day program provided on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park in partnership with CKRH. This program serves school-aged children with special needs incorporating fun activities such as arts and crafts, water play, and therapeutic horseback riding.

Easter Seals Cardinal Hill is a 501 c 3 that depends on community support financially through generous donors, grants, and fundraising events. Events include The Kentucky BASH, Wild Game Dinner and Sports Auction, Pumpkin Run 3K and Lillies in Lexington.
