The I C.A.N. Foundation is once again selling tickets to the Frederick Keys baseball game on Saturday, August 1. Tickets can be purchased for a discounted price--$9—and 100% of the proceeds will go to our work to provide blind students grants for the technology and training programs they need to succeed in education and beyond. Please note, however, that tickets must be purchased through us in order for the proceeds to go to the Foundation. If you are interested in purchasing tickets, please call Wendy Cox at (410) 984-4369 or me at (443) 547-2409. We hope that you can join us for this exciting night of family fun, featuring great baseball, delicious food, a fireworks display and the National Anthem as sung by yours truly, all for the cause of empowering Maryland’s blind students. See you Saturday!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris Nusbaum, Vice President<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Greater Carroll County Chapter, National Federation of the Blind of Maryland<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Vice President, Maryland Association of Blind Students<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Board Member, National Association of Blind Students<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Coordinator of Social Media, National Federation of the Blind of Maryland<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone: (443) 547-2409<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Email: <a href="mailto:dotkid.nusbaum@gmail.com">dotkid.nusbaum@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Twitter: @Chrisn98 and @NFBMD<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.
