Walk with Oliver

Oliver Cole, Benjamin Cole, Kim Pizzitola, and Courtney Cole (pictured, from left) participated in the 13th annual Walk with Me event hosted by Easter Seals Greater Houston at the Houston Zoo. Oliver, a former Easter Seals Ambassador, raised nearly $5,000 in donations for Easter Seals and ranked as a top fundraiser among thousands of participants. The Cole family relied on Easter Seals’ Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) services when Oliver was born with challenges, and they are forever grateful for their impact on his life. This year, Oliver and his family joined the noncompetitive 5K Family Fun Walk to support families living with disabilities in the community. In addition, Oliver’s grandmother in Germany, Christa Cole, recently celebrated her 75th birthday and requested Easter Seals donations instead of gifts. Christa collected the individual donations from her friends and family, and the total amount became the largest single contribution Oliver's campaign received this year.
