This project is funded by the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators (IABTI). Local bomb technicians assemble the eggs with components provided by The Rachel Project, a volunteer group founded by an IABTI member to make Easter more fun for disabled children.

VSP BCI Senior Agent W.K. O’Dell has been coordinating the project for state police since it began in his region. A participant’s grandmother told him through tears, “The doctors told us that [my granddaughter] would never be able to participate in events like this.”
