inspiring guest presentations you won’t want to miss!

Presentation 1: Trent Ferguson – Sports Broadcaster

Join us this Sunday, October 19, at 8:00 PM Eastern for an evening with Trent
Ferguson, a talented sports radio broadcaster, proud University of South
Florida graduate, and lifelong advocate for pursuing your passions without

Jose Bohorquez, Secretary

Florida Statewide Chapter - National Federation of the Blind of Florida

"We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or our
future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our
collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of
all blind people."
