Recognized for its long-standing dedication to foster an inclusive workforce for people with disabilities, Bank of America will be presented with the inaugural Easterseals Disability Community Impact Award at the 2024 Easterseals Annual Celebration on Tuesday, October 29th, at the Chase Center in Wilmington, DE.

The Disability Community Impact Award, presented by Easterseals, honors distinguished leadership, service, and impact in support of the local disability community. It is awarded to a person, group, organization, or partner, who supports Easterseals Delaware & Maryland's Eastern Shore’s mission to provide exceptional services, education, outreach, and advocacy so that people with disabilities, seniors, their families, and caregivers can live, learn, work, and play in our communities. 

 

“Promoting a work environment that is inclusive to people with disabilities is essential in our community. In addition to partnering with Easterseals in employment services, Bank of America has supported Easterseals through thousands of volunteer hours and generous financial contributions and grants through the years. We are grateful Bank of America is committed to our mission and are honored to award them with our inaugural Disability Community Impact Award,” Easterseals President/CEO, Kenan Sklenar, said.

 

"Receiving the Disability Community Impact Award from Easterseals is a tremendous honor and testament to what we can accomplish when we come together to support our community,” said Chip Rossi, Bank of America Delaware President. “For more than 75 years, Easterseals has made a significant difference in the lives of Delawareans, and it has been a privilege to work alongside them."
