Thank you United Way of Central Alabama for having us!

Serving the Birmingham community through SNAP card distribution was truly meaningful. Being able to directly support the community we serve means everything to us.

Not pictured one of our amazing Employee Specialist Wendy volunteering the day before! We appreciate you 🤍

Staff Spotlight 🌟

“This past week, I traveled to Washington, D.C. alongside advocates from across the nation to support the passage of the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act (ELSA) with congressional leaders in the Senate and House. The ELSA Bill is federal legislation that would require all private group and individual health plans to cover medically necessary items or services resulting from congenital anomalies. As someone born with a cleft lip and palate, advocating for this legislation is deeply important to me. ELSA would help ensure that people like me receive the medical care they deserve.”

~ Ray Boyd, M.S., CCC-SLP

Thank you for sharing this, Ray, and for advocating for such an important cause🧡

We are thrilled to welcome our new Director of Corporate Development, Gracelyn Coker, to the Easterseals family!

Gracelyn, known by most family and friends as “Gracie,” is a Birmingham native who discovered her love for serving others and giving back to the community that raised her. Through her previous roles as Director of Greek Programming at The University of Alabama and as Teen Program Manager while living in Georgia, she grew passionate about creating engaging fundraising events. Gracelyn is thrilled to be building community connections and planning initiatives that support Easterseals’ mission for the future.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and Communication Studies and Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The University of Alabama, and went on to receive her Master’s in Nonprofit Management and Leadership from The University of Georgia (Roll Dawgs!). In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, dancing, and exploring new coffee shops and local eats around Birmingham.

Please help us welcome her to the team! 🧡
