[Home-on-the-Range] Shop blind challenge

[Emily Schlenker]

I don’t see any problems with wanting to find a cure for blindness, but this seems like it is exploiting the fear and pity that the public has for an entire community of people who can be functional as they are. I don’t understand this, because the clothing is good quality and speaks for itself. Why is it necessary to use the fear and misconceptions about blindness to make sales?

It’s called the shop blind challenge because you don’t get to pick what you buy and have to trust the company to select it for you. You get to put in your gender and shirt size and stuff like that so what you get will fit you. 100% of the proceeds go towards finding a cure for blindness.
