Forwarding for Lisa….

Hey all,

This is just reminder that if you are planning to order any White Cane Day apparel to do so soon! The order closes on Tuesday. If you are on the fence about ordering, we could use the support. We need about 10 more shirt sales and 15 sweatshirt sales in order to submit the order, otherwise there is a chance I might need to cancel the order if we don’t get closer to the number I gave custom ink.  Please see the email below for details!

-Lisa

Hello everyone!

To celebrate White Cane Day, we are selling shirts and sweatshirts so you can show your White Cane Day pride!  I have included some information about White Cane Day, and below that are some pictures of the shirt/sweatshirt and a link to order. You can find all the information through each link. The shirts are the same design we sold from 2019-2021 but the sweatshirt is a brand new design! Usually, during White Cane Day it is a little cooler outside so we thought the sweatshirt might be a nice addition. The order will close on September 20. Everyone will pay individually though each link. Unfortunately, I couldn’t combine the links so if you want both you must order them separately. If you have them shipped here, shipping is free. If you choose to have it shipped elsewhere you will have to pay for shipping. This year we will be celebrating White Cane Day at Acacia Park downtown on October 14 (weather permitting). The ceremony, which will include a performance by the Bulldog Band, will take place from 10-11:30 and is open to the public so if you want to join us, come on down!

When President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed in 1964 that every October 15th will be celebrated as White Cane Safety Day, he stated, “The white cane in our society has become one of the symbols of a blind person’s ability to come and go on his own. Its use has promoted courtesy and special consideration to the blind on our streets and highways.”

Every year on this day we celebrate the white cane as a symbol of blindness and a tool for independence as well as the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired.  This is also a day when we emphasize White Cane Law which varies by state.  In Colorado, it states “Drivers and pedestrians, other than persons in wheelchairs, to yield to persons with disabilities.” White Cane Law has been central to the safety of people who are blind or visually impaired as they travel and go about their daily activities.

If we exceed the predicted number of orders and a profit is made on the sale of these items, that money will go into a School for the Blind event fund.  

Thanks for helping us celebrate White Cane Day!
