> This is Parnell Diggs, chairman of the National Federation of the Blind Imagination Fund.  Hundreds of us are preparing to converge upon the Daytona International Speedway to witness the historic Blind Driver Challenge™ on January 29, 2011.
> 
>  
> 
> Now is the time to gear-up for the 2011 Race for Independence.  Over the next few days, the programs of the National Federation of the Blind will generate hundreds of millions of audience impressions, and our work will be highlighted in communities across America and around the world.
> 
>  
> 
> Register for the 2011 Race for Independence by visiting www.raceforindependence.org.  There, you can sign up to be an Imaginator, set your fundraising goal, and make your asks in what may be the biggest and best Imagination Fund campaign yet.
> 
>  
> 
> You can also register by calling the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute at (410) 659-9314, extension 2419.  Whether you conduct your campaign online, through the mail, or in person, we have the tools you need to guarantee success with just a little effort.

> In fact, some Imaginators have already reached and surpassed their fundraising goals, and it's only January.  How did they do it?   The secret to success lies in two key actions: registering and making the ask.  
> 
>  
> 
> If you plan to be in Daytona Beach, Washington D.C., both, or neither, you need to be registered for the Race for Independence.  This is your opportunity to help us capitalize on the enormous publicity, goodwill, and enthusiasm about the programs of the National Federation of the Blind over the next few days.

> Fellow Federationists, please join me in building the Imagination Fund and supporting Braille literacy, quality education, access to technology, employment opportunities for blind adults, programs for seniors and more.  Come on:  sign up today, and let's race!
