Above, Robert Parker (right) shows Roy Goodwin and Karl Herder how it's done. Easter Seal campaign underway this month To successive generations of Ontario residents, March has become known as Easter Seal month. (235 service clubs across the province, including the Port Perry Rotary Club, will be canvassing their local communities in the hopes of raising funds to aid physically disabled children. This year's target is $3.65 million. "The Easter Seal Society is the oldest and largest children's charity in Canada," explains John Butler, co-ordinator of the Easter Seal Campaign. "The Society provides services and a variety of life skills and recreational programs for more than 6,800 physicall disabled children up to 19 years of age and their families in Ontario." According to Butler, affiliated service clubs conduct the month-long campaign in their respec- tive communities, with 50 per cent of the funds col- lected being used to meet their local needs and the remainder given to the Society to assist in providing essential services for the children on a province- wide basis. The first campaign was launched in 1947 and led by the late Conn Smythe because he was Treasurer. There are four major sources of funds - the an- nual Easter Seal Campaign, regular dire¢t mail campaigns, bequests and various special event ac- tivities such as the annual Bobby Orr Skate-A-Thon and Snowarama, a 100-km snowmobiling fund- - raising challenge held in January and February. In addition to local fund-raising events and the province-wide direct mail campaign, the Easter Seal Campaign culminates in a 13'% hour television extravaganza called Superthon which will begin broadcasting on Saturday, March 22, 1986 in 12 On- tario cities. Organizers hope to raise $1.9 million through this medium. : Butler says the 13%. hour telethon has a new look, with each hour themed to satisfy the musical tastes of all viewers. Superthon will air in the follow- ing cities: Ottawa, Toronto, Wingham, London, Sud- bury, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins, Wind- sor, Thunder Bay, Barrie and Kingston. The Society is incorporated in Ontario and is a registered charity under the regulations of Revenue Canada. The 1986 budget totals approximately $11 million, with 75 per cent of it channelled directly into the car and treatment of physicaly disabled children. Approximately 16 per cent provides for ex- tensive fund-raising activities and information ser- vices, and nine per cent is allocated to ad- ministrative operations.
