Easter Seals is the benefactor of Natalie McDonald's birthday party in Neustadt.
(Neustadt) - If you looking for some family fun, than you may want to head to Neustadt. When Natalie McDonald has a birthday party -- everyone is invited and Easter Seals always benefits. Natalie is celebrating her 13th today and she wants everyone to come out to the Neustadt Arena this afternoon for a day of family fun festivities. Her party has been turned into a full fledge festival -- with music, dancing, pony rides, bouncy castles, face painting, games, crafts, raffles, door prizes and festival food. It begins at Noon and continues until 6 PM at the Neustadt Arena. There will also be special guest appearances by Batman, Superman, Spiderman, various princesses and Sponge Bob Square Pants. Admission is five dollars for adults, three dollars for kids and preschoolers are a loonie. Natalie has only one rule -- No Birthday Presents. She says the day is about raising money for Easter Seals to help send a kid like Natalie to camp. Natalie has Spinal Muscular Atrophy and looks forward to Easter Seals camp every summer. It costs two thousand dollars to send a child to Easter Seals Camp -- and Natalie says she wants to help send as many kids as she can. Over the past five years, Natalie's Family Fun Dance has raised over 25 thousand dollars for the Easter Seals. McDonald says Easter Seals Camp is the one place where kids physical disabilities can have fun and feel like a regular kid. In Ontario alone, there are 20 thousand Easter Seals kids. Natalie is also this year's Ontario Easter Seals Ambassador.
