CrossFit Marathon Made Donates Backpacks and School Supplies to ECI Siblings

Crystal and Ralph Monterosa, owners of CrossFit Marathon Made, are invested in fitness and their community. In August, they hosted an in-house competition at their gym. Instead of charging a registration fee, which is standard practice, they asked for a backpack filled with school supplies from each person who wanted to enter the competition. They decided they wanted these backpacks to go to our ECI families who had older school-age children who would benefit from starting the school year with a new backpack and supplies.

CrossFit Marathon Made donated 60 filled backpacks and helped numerous ECI families. This isn't the first time they've generously given to our program. They were big donors to our raffles in March as well. Crystal says they plan to continue to be involved with Easter Seals, "Anything we can do to help y'all out and the community."

"Wonderful organization. I cannot say enough about having our child receive therapy services with this group of women. I was so happy to learn that they offered in-home services. They were always professional, courteous, and a pleasure to have around. They offered many effective methods for our autistic child. The methods they present are easy to understand, implement, and truly work. This was such a relief after feeling so hopeless and helpless. They gave us our child back, with even more vocabulary than before. We truly appreciate Mrs. James, Mrs. Terri, and Mrs. Natalie. My only regret is that their services end at 3 years old. They are truly amazing. All autistic children deserve to have caring compassionate professionals like them." -Alvita Alexander
