As we enter our 20th year of celebrating the rich traditions of Indian-American culture while supporting the children of Easterseals Central Illinois, we are taking time to Honor our Past and Look to our Future! Join us to experience an evening filled with authentic Indian cuisine, mesmerizing performances, and powerful storytelling that honors resilience, compassion, and leadership. Together, we will uplift our community and support the children and families of Easterseals Central Illinois.
At Easterseals Central Illinois, every child’s journey looks different.
For some, it’s taking a first step after months of therapy. For others, it’s finding their voice; saying a word their family has been waiting to hear. And for many, it’s building the confidence to do something today they couldn’t do yesterday.
These moments may seem small to the outside world, but for our children and their families, they are everything.
Behind each milestone is a child working incredibly hardand a team of therapists, caregivers, and supporters walking alongside them every step of the way. With access to early intervention, therapy services, and specialized care, children are given the opportunity not just to grow, but to truly thrive.
And that’s where you come in.
Since 2006, Passage to India has raised over $6 million to support life-changing services for children with disabilities and their families across Central Illinois. Because of this support, more children are reaching milestones, gaining independence, and building brighter futures.
Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring authentic Indian cuisine, captivating performances, and a powerful celebration of impact; all in support of the children and families who inspire everything we do.
