INVEST IN DIGNITY. MAXIMIZE YOUR IMPACT.

The National Federation of the Blind celebrates dignity, freedom, and
independence on White Cane Awareness Day each October 15. This year, your
contributions to our mission to advance the lives of blind people will be
doubled, thanks to a matching gift opportunity from HumanWare and anonymous
donors [2]. 

GIVE TODAY AND DOUBLE YOUR INVESTMENT [3]! 

THE LONG WHITE CANE—AN ESSENTIAL TOOL OF FREEDOM FOR THE BLIND

The long white cane helps blind people navigate confidently and
independently through their communities. Independent travel, be it across
the street or across the globe, is one ingredient in a life of dignity and
equality for blind people. Gary shared: 

> "I was reluctant to be introduced to the white cane because I thought it
> would make me look blind, but of course I am blind. It took a long time
> for my family and me to understand the independence that came through
> being able to travel when and where I want and mostly without the
> assistance of anyone. It is amazing that something as simple as a stick
> can be so liberating."

Thank you to HumanWare and anonymous donors for providing matching gifts up

independence.
