Each year we are fortunate to be given the opportunity to support a wonderful non-profit organization - the
Easter Seals Foundation of the Bay Area. This wonderful organization has helped families with disabilities and special needs live better lives by helping provide services to enable individuals with disabilities to achieve personal goals and gain greater independence for everyday living.
For a number of years, Erik's uncle -
Henry Michon, has served as the Chair for the Northern California Food and Drug Industry Alliance for Easter Seals. Each year, they hold an annual Spring Gala benefitting the Easter Seals Bay Area. It's an amazing event held at the San Francisco Hilton that consists of a silent auction, dinner, a touching presentation of how Easter Seals has touched the lives of a special family of a child in need, live entertainment, and dancing through the night.
It always feels good to give back to the community and the Easter Seals Foundation is a wonderful non-profit organization that works for such a good cause - why not make a difference today?

This year, the guest performer was Javier Colon - winner of Season 1 of
The Voice. He was amazing live on stage, and we feel very fortunate to have given the opportunity to support such a great cause that night and to see all of the people who have supported the organization. Here's a glimpse of the beautiful evening.

"A Drop in the Ocean" is one of my favorite songs that he performed that night! I posted his performance on NBC below so you can hear it more clearly. |
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend everyone!
