Sewall Child Development Center, an inclusive pre-school and child care center that helps children ages 0-8 reach their potential, will host its sixth annual “Champions for Children” fundraising luncheon on Friday, May 2 at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center.  

The keynote speaker at the luncheon will be Emily Rapp, author of Poster Child.  Emily was born with a congenital defect that resulted in her leg being amputated at age four. As a child, Emily traveled around Wyoming as the smiling, indefatigable “poster child” for the March of Dimes.

“We are so lucky to have a world-renowned speaker like Emily to keynote our luncheon,” notes Coleen Truax, Development Director for Sewall.“Her spirit and success embody the potential we encourage in all of our students – despite their differing needs.”
