Easter Seals
With the $2.1 million raised by its franchise system in 2009, CENTURY 21® has surpassed $100 million in funds raised for and donated directly by the franchise system to Easter Seals, its sole philanthropic partner since 1979. CENTURY 21 delivered on its system-wide goal of surpassing the $100 million fundraising mark on behalf of Easter Seals during the 30th anniversary year of their philanthropic partnership.
This year CENTURY 21® is proud to support Easter Seals' Act for Autism campaign. Over the last 20 years, Easter Seals has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people with autism the organization serves -- both through its services developed specifically for people with autism and through services that include children and adults with autism among other service recipients.
Autism. The time to act for families is now.
Every 20 minutes, another child is diagnosed with autism.
Millions now struggle to find help -- countless more will follow.
Autism is treatable, but we need to act.
Literacy is Paramount
Literacy is very important with today's youth and in hopes of improvements, we are partnering with area elementary schools to provide a CENTURY 21 Paramount reading corner within their library.
We are visiting the schools during preset times and working with the children on reading skills. Often times, the children do not have enough adult involvement outside of the classroom to help with their reading skills.
