[NFBMI-Talk] The Stride Report v.10: The Dark Horse

[Robert Earl Parsons]

Marvelous Monday All

It's convention week, which means that Chunky Crab's prediction that all the good stuff happens at the end starts to come true. It is also the final day of Blind Equity Achievement Month (BEAM). Our 2022 Six Dot Stride had a pledge goal of $1500 set yesterday as a challenge for the affiliate to reach by convention. Sharing our campaign link or donating helps our campaign to raise awareness and funds for our youth and family programs. Last night, our efforts had raised $1360 in pledged donations so far. Last week our president Mike Powell received a  mega pledge in the Six Dot Stride, bringing him from fourth place to take the lead. He's held a firm grip on that lead since then, but all things come to an end. Let's take a gander:
