The National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska (NFBN) Senior Division
is using an on-line auction boldly to promote a positive impression of
blindness. We will be auctioning off four designer hoodies. All garments
sport colorful graphics including long white canes. The designs of
hoodies 1, 2, and 3 are set, "What you bid on is what you get".
With hoodie 4 our WILD CARD option, the winner may choose from all
comparable graphic design templates in the designer's catalog. With all
four hoodies, you get to pick the color (from the variety she has on
hand) and size (small, up to 5X); All hoodies are pull-over-the head,
classic adult unisex sweatshirts having a large hood with drawstring and
a large pouch pocket on the front. They are made from 90% cotton/ 10%
poly and are cozy and fuzzy on the inside. <br><br>
<br><br>
Goal: The proceeds are intended to assist one or more newly blind seniors
to attend the NFB of Nebraska affiliate's state convention in March of
2023. We all know the positive effects upon a person new to blindness
when the opportunity comes to experience being among a group of highly
motivated and successful blind people of all ages. To participate in the
auction, continue reading. <br><br>
