Boston, MA., Jan. 22, 2003 – Stanley J. Lukowski, chairman and chief executive officer of Eastern Bank, is chairing the Boston Area 2003 Easter Seals Campaign for Independence, according to Easter Seals Statewide Campaign Chair Judith Fleming.

Funds raised during the campaign will support Easter Seals services that help people with disabilities expand their independence.

“I’m pleased to join with Easter Seals and lead the organization’s effort here in Boston, because Easter Seals has repeatedly shown leadership in the area of providing services to children and adults with disabilities,” Lukowski said. “Easter Seals programs help our disabled neighbors live more independently and to participate actively in community life.”
