On October 18^th 2012, the Easter Seals Michigan’s “Walkway of Champions” was officially opened. This addition to the Roger and Doris McCarville Family Center in Auburn Hills was three years in the making, and much like the mission of Easter Seals Michigan, it will continue to grow.

A variety of community leaders, service recipients and their families were in attendance to see their brick become part of the entranceway to the building, guiding the way for others towards the service and support that Easter Seals Michigan offers.

The event also included a memorial to recognize the charitable efforts of long-time Easter Seals Michigan supporter, John Bowman, who passed away in May of this year. Many members of Mr. Bowman’s family were in attendance for the tribute that included a memorial plaque and tree planting in his honor. The tree is now part of the Auburn Hills location and will serve as a permanent reminder of an amazing man and his contributions to the community.
