LITTLE ROCK (Dec. 9, 2015) – Officials at Easterseals Arkansas announced Latravius Brown as Easterseals Arkansas 2016-2017 Grand Prairie Child Development Center (GPCDC) Representative. As one of the organization’s ambassadors, LaTravius, along with his family, will share his incredible story with donors, volunteers and the community. “We are so excited to have LaTravius as our Representative, sharing our mission.
