PLEASANT HILL, CALIF./SAN FRANCISCO – April 5, 2017 – Easterseals Northern California is celebrating 90 years of trailblazing services for people with disabilities and special needs and their families during National Autism Awareness Month in April. In honor of this milestone, the organization celebrates with its 90th Anniversary Annual Spring Gala “Tonight for Tomorrow” at 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis.

“This is an exciting year for Easterseals Northern California, which has grown tremendously over the past several years,” said Susan Armiger, president and CEO of Easterseals Northern California. “We have developed new capabilities and expanded our services. I am very proud of all that we have achieved together and excited by our future ahead.”
