>    Seedlings took first place in Vibe Credit Union's Facebook charity contest, winning the top prize of $2,250!
>    Thank you to all who voted for us!
>    We will use the money to start a new program that will place braille books into the hands of those who need them the most: children ages 0-5 with vision loss.
>    Children who are blind are at a disadvantage when learning to read. By the time sighted children enter kindergarten, they have seen millions of letters and words. Print is everywhere they look!
>    But blind children find braille almost exclusively in braille books, which continue to be rare and typically expensive. The average blind child may have only 5 braille books for every 100 print books a sighted child has. Some have none at all!
>    Every $10 allows us to place another braille book into the hands of a child! Thanks to Vibe and thanks to you, we will be able to give 225 books to kids who need them the most!
