Easter Seals needs your online vote to pay for flooring

Easter Seals needs your online vote to pay for flooring

Greer's Flooring America is sponsoring the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center to WIN $10,000 in new, much needed flooring for their east side facility.  They are not asking for donations-- just a few minutes of time to cast an online vote is all it takes to make a difference.

They are currently in first place in this nationwide contest but need to keep those votes coming.

According to Greer's representatives, winning would enable Easter Seals to put their money towards actual therapy- instead of spending so much on renovations for the facility.
