Peeps "Fun Buses" Raise Fun & Funds for Easter Seals

 Marshmallow Peeps: An Easter Tradition since 1953

Beginning in March, two Peeps Fun Buses will be traveling across America to raise 'FUN'ds and awareness for Easter Seals. On their 18-city, six-week tour, the Peeps Fun Buses will travel more than 6,000 miles to help support the mission of Easter Seals by fundraising at over 80 stops across the country. During the local stops, the Peeps Fun Bus will visit Easter Seals centers, schools and retail outlets.

The brightly covered Peeps Fun Buses are custom-built 37-foot buses full of character and celebrate the Peeps "For All Seasons" theme. Each Fun Bus has images of the Marshmallow Peeps Bunny, Snowman, Christmas Tree, Ghost, Spooky Cat, Pumpkin, Valentine's Day Heart and Summer Stars covering the exterior of the vehicle. Upon entering the bus, visitors are swept away into "Peepsville."

The Peeps Fun Bus will feature a wide range of activities for kids and grown-ups alike to test their Peeps knowledge and exercise their creative craft talents. Some of the fun and games include: matching Peeps with their season, making Peeps crafts, and other onsite games for Peeps prizes. There is also a "Creative Creations" area that showcases the outstanding Peeps themed crafts made by children involved with Easter Seals.

Consumers who visit the Peeps Fun Bus will have the opportunity to get their picture taken in Peepsville. The picture will be taken on exclusive Peeps Fun Bus Polaroid film. Additionally, the Buses will be selling limited-edition Peeps t-shirts. All proceeds from the Peeps pictures and Peeps t-shirts will be going to Easter Seals.

For 85 years, Easter Seals has been providing services that help children and adults with disabilities gain greater independence. Its primary services -- medical rehabilitation, job training and employment, child care, adult day services, and camping and recreation -- benefit more than one million individuals and their families each year through more than 500 centers nationwide.
