CHICAGO, July 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Easterseals, the nation's
largest disability service provider, is excited to announce that,
for the third year in a row, the organization's efforts will be
supported by the CENTURY 21® System as part of its
International Week of Giving. The support will help Easterseals in
its efforts to enhance quality of life and expand local access to
transportation and mobility, healthcare, education, and employment
opportunities.
Through its national network of Affiliates, Easterseals provides
essential services and on-the-ground supports each year to 1.5
million children and adults with disabilities, including veterans
and older adults—from early childhood programs for the critical
first five years to autism services, medical rehabilitation and
employment programs, transportation and mobility services,
veterans' programs, and more.
During the week of July 21-26,
real estate brokerages affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand around
the world will host fundraising activities to support organizations
like Easterseals and other causes including homelessness, food
insecurity, disaster relief, education, health, and the
environment.
Partisan and social divisions can make it challenging for
governments to act. And government budgets are stretched thin,
leaving many pressing social needs underfunded. Against this
backdrop, social change can still be driven through collaborations
between nonprofits and corporations. Century 21 Real Estate LLC has
supported Easterseals for the past 45 years and is Easterseals'
longest corporate relationship, reflecting the importance of
private and public relationships to support social change.
In 2023, the CENTURY 21 System raised nearly $3.1 million for Easterseals through its network
of affiliated brokers and agents engaged with Easterseals from
coast to coast to support the organization's disability and
community-based services. Since their philanthropic relationship
began in 1979, the CENTURY 21 System has raised $138.5 million for Easterseals. Visit

Easterseals President and CEO Kendra
Davenport said: "We are so grateful for our
long-standing relationship with Century 21 Real Estate. From annual
fundraising campaigns to the unique charity events they put
together, they are playing a crucial role in our mission to create
a more inclusive world so people with disabilities can live full,
independent lives and thrive."
"Giving back to the communities where our system members serve
is an important part of who we are as a brand and our 45-year
commitment to Easterseals is a true testament to that," said
Greg Sexton, Chief Operating
Officer of Century 21 Real Estate and Easterseals National Board
Member. "I am very proud of the extraordinary efforts of our
CENTURY 21 independent brokers and agents across the country as
they not only provide philanthropic support but also drive
awareness for the vital work of this organization."
