[Nfb-web] Supporting the NFB

[Gary Wunder]

Hello friends.  

I write to you to discuss my participation in the Imagination Fund and the March for Independence and to ask your help in forming a team or in being very active in one already formed.  The Imagination Fund benefits all of the members of the National Federation of the Blind.  All monies raised in the Imagination Fund go directly to support our chapters, our affiliates, and our NFB Jernigan Institute.  The March for Independence is a 5K walk-a-thon event held each year in conjunction with our national convention.  The monies raised through the march/walk-a-thon go directly to the Imagination Fund.

I am absolutely committed to the March for Independence because I feel very strongly that as a result of the money raised, I am helping to change what it means to be blind in a very big way.  We all participate in local outreach efforts which are hugely important to our cause, but by helping to raise money by walking or virtually walking, I believe I am helping in a bigger way.  I am giving back just a little time for the opportunity, the security, and the independence that the NFB has helped me to achieve.  

Partner with me.  Register for the march right now. Become a champion for the March for Independence, for our movement.  When I was asked, I couldn't say no, I hope you won't either.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

Gary
