Easter Seals Southeast WisconsinEaster Seals Southeast Wisconsin

Cindy Bentley has worked in different areas for Easter Seals as an advocate and at our Wil-O-Way programs.

On August 6, 2010, she will join the ranks of Frank Lloyd Wright, Bob and Belle La Follette, Gaylord Nelson, Curly Lambeau, and other noteworthy people from Wisconsin. Her biography, Cindy Bentley: Spirit of a Champion will be published as part of the Wisconsin State Historical Society’s Badger Biography series for young readers. 

Cindy Bentley: Spirit of a Champion celebrates the life of one of Wisconsin’s most inspirational leaders and activists. Born with an intellectual disability Cindy spent much of her childhood at the Southern Wisconsin Center for the Developmentally Disabled (SWC). The book tells the story of her leaving SWC to live independently and eventually becoming a Global Messenger for Special Olympics and a staff person for People First Wisconsin.

You can find out more information about the book and/or purchase it at: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/whspress/books/book.asp?book_id=367

The book will also be available at the Wisconsin Historical Museum, 30 N. Carroll St, Madison and other booksellers including Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Join Cindy Bentley, and authors Bob Kann and Caroline Hoffman to celebrate the publication at two book signing events:

Milwaukee: August 18, 2010 at 7:00 PM at Barnes & Noble, Bayshore Mall, 5755 N Bayshore Drive, Glendale

Madison: September 16, 2010 at 7:00 PM at Barnes & Noble, West Towne Mall, 7433 Mineral Point Road.

A portion of the book sales at these events will benefit Special Olympics Wisconsin. Please tell the cashier at checkout that you are participating in the book fair for Special Olympics.
