A Celebratory dinner was held at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Kogod Courtyard.  Sarasota resident and Honorary Chair of the event, Ginger Judge, was honored for more than 4 decades of service to Easterseals National and Easterseals Southwest Florida Happiness House.   

“What an inspiring series of events through which Easterseals key stakeholders could come together to celebrate Easterseals’ legacy of impact and to commit to our future vision of a world in which everyone is 100% included and 100% empowered”, said Easterseals President and CEO Angela F.
