Enter to Win and Change Lives

Each year, thousands of Federation members and friends make donations to
fund our great programs. Your continued support is needed. When you
participate in the Give $20 campaign
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=20749&qid=5145995> you will be
entered into the Give $20 Convention Drawing AND help our work to change
lives for people like Annie:

*My name is Annie Ascher, and I am a recipient of the Kenneth Jernigan
Convention Scholarship. Initially, I was overwhelmed until I met my mentors
from my state affiliate. My mentors helped me understand and overcome my
fears in a warm and supportive manner. They taught me that I could be
independent and live the life I want. Through my first national convention
experience and the relationships I built through that experience, I have
come a long way. Today, I serve as my chapter president in Virginia Beach,
mentor other first-timers, and share our positive philosophy with others. I
am proud to state I am a military Veteran and a proud member of the
National Federation of the Blind.*

Each $20 Donation Is a Chance to Win

Your name will be placed in the drawing for each increment of $20 you give.
Give $100 and you will be entered into the drawing five times. This was
previously called the Kenneth Jernigan Convention Drawing and winners
receive a free trip to next year’s convention or a cash prize of $2,000.
The winner of the drawing will be announced July 10, 2021 at the banquet.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
