Safeway/Dominick’s Announces $400,000 Commitment to
The New Therapeutic School and Center
for Autism Research Metro Chicago!

At a May 4, 2007 ceremony, Dominick’s President Don Keprta announced the company’s commitment of $400,000 to name the Vocational Training and Work Center and the Research Node Connection Lab in the new Therapeutic School and Center for Autism Research.

The ceremony celebrated Dominick’s and Safeway’s (parent company of Dominick’s) commitment to Easter Seals and included remarks by:

• Safeway Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Burd
• President and CEO of Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago Tim Muri
• President and CEO of Easter Seals, Inc. James E. Williams, Jr.
• Illinois Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Jack Lavin and
• 27th Ward Alderman Walter Burnett

We were also delighted to have "The Naturals", a music group featuring musicians and former Easter Seals students Maurice Snell and Terry Bracey, entertain at the ceremony.

Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago thanks Dominick’s and Safeway for this generous commitment to the new school!
