Celebration of Life for Scott LaBarre

Scott C. LaBarre, who was a longtime Federation member, a fierce leader in

outpouring of love from the Federation family, as well as the disability
rights and legal communities, has been felt by his loved ones. A

*Submit Memories for Tribute*

As we prepare  to honor Scott LaBarre on January 21, we want to remember
the many ways that Scott impacted those around him. If Scott mentored you,
supported you, fought for you, or otherwise impacted your life for the
better we would love to collect very brief (less than thirty seconds each,
think  one or two sentences) testimonies.  Our goal is to represent a
number of voices in a fairly short audio montage. The material will be
archived at the Jacobus tenBroek Library also as part of the historical
record about Scott.

If you would like to lend your voice or words to this tribute, please
either submit a brief audio clip or a couple of sentences in writing to
jbbeecham at gmail.com
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28447&qid=8229149> with LaBarre
tribute in the subject line. Please submit items as soon as possible but no
later than Friday, January  13.

*New: Scott C. LaBarre Leadership and Justice Fund*

In coordination with the LaBarre family, the National Federation of the
Blind Board of Directors has established a fund for memorial donations made
in honor of Scott C. LaBarre and his contribution to the development of
leadership within the organized blind movement and the broader legal
profession.

The goal of this fund will be to advance efforts to promote leadership
development and educational opportunities for blind people, with a
preference for supporting internships, educational training/conferences, or
other activities that assist blind individuals in expanding their
participation in the legal profession or in providing greater leadership in
advocacy for the blind.
*Sending Messages to the LaBarre Family*

Per the request of Scott’s family, memorial contributions should be
directed to the National Federation of the Blind
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28431&qid=8229149> for the work to
empower blind people to live the lives they want, to which he gave so much.

Please share memories and messages with the LaBarre family by sending an
email to slabarre at nfb.org
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28432&qid=8229149>.
