ABOUT US
Evolve Miami, part of Leadership Miami, a program of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, has partnered with Easterseals South Florida to enrich the overall health and well-being of children with cognitive disabilities and adults with Alzheimer’s by funding and building a basketball court, meditation area, edible garden and legacy mural.
Easterseals provides opportunities for people of all ages with a range of disabilities to achieve their full potential. Together, they're changing the way the world defines and views disability. With a network nationwide, they're proud to serve approximately 1.5 million people with disabilities and their families. From therapy and early intervention services, to camps and employment placement, they help children and adults with disabilities, caregivers, veterans and seniors be at their best as they live, learn, work and play.
