Ears to Easter Seals

Decked out in bunny ears, 17 children participated in a Hop-A-Thon fundraiser hosted by the North End Children's Center for Easter Seals March 25. The children were challenged to hop as many consecutive times as they could. Three-year-old Francesco Santaniello won a T-shirt for 133 individual hops, with a total overall count of all the children coming in at a whopping 1,137 hops. The event taught children about disabilities and gave them a chance to make a difference.
