Every year thousands of people gather in cities across Canada and participate in the Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay. In Alberta, this all night relay and dance party takes place in Edmonton.

This party has a purpose! Teams of 20 participants or more fundraise and gather pledges for the event and set out to run, walk or crawl for 24 hours straight in support of children, youth and young adults with physical disabilities and special needs. So, plan on camping out and staying the night, because this weekend is the social event not to be missed!

Annually, this event helps to purchase power wheelchairs, van lifts, and other necessary equipment to help raise the quality of life for Albertans with disabilities and special needs.

Returning participants already know what a rewarding weekend it is. We welcome all former participants back again this year and invite all first timers to find out what Easter Seals' is all about!

Join us for a weekend of outlandish fun, while helping out Albertans in need with your fundraising efforts.

Since their beginning, the relays in Alberta have raised more than $6.8 million dollars to date for Easter Seals kids.
