In the spring of 1934…the Seal was born! The launch of its first Easter "seals" campaign to raise money for services

Cleveland Plain Dealer cartoonist J.H. Donahey designed the first seal. Donahey based the design

on a concept of simplicity because those served by the charity asked

"simply for the right to live a normal life."

The lily - a symbol of spring -was officially incorporated as Easterseals' logo in 1952 for its association with resurrection and new life
