Easter Seals was founded in 1919 as the National Society for Crippled Children, the first organization of its kind. In the spring of 1934, the organization launched its first Easter "seals" campaign to raise money for its services. To show support, donors placed the seals on envelopes and letters. The seal, the lily -- a symbol of spring -- was officially incorporated as Easter Seals' logo in 1952 for its association with resurrection and new life and has appeared on each seal since1934. Easter Seals is a social services organization. It serves people with disabilities, families and children throughout the United States.
