Wondering what to do with that old cane you no longer use in the closet? Is 
that drawer of used canes collecting dust and taking up space? Donate your 
old canes to the new “You Cane Give” program. Kustom Cane is collecting 
donated canes to refurbish and send to individuals who are blind and 
visually impaired around the world. Let’s face it, we have it good in 
America. With the click of a button, we can order almost anything we need, 
including a cane. In countries like Mexico, China, India, and South Africa, 
people do not have access to the proper tools to empower independence and 
success. Do not let your canes go to waste!  “You Cane Give” allows you to 
help us give your used cane to a person far away who needs it! We are in 
need of canes in all sizes. Kustom Cane has contacts in Peru, Nigeria, and 
South Africa wishing for a cane of their own.

Bring your used canes to the forty-first NFB of NJ state convention for a 
chance to win a cane exxessury pack from Kustom Canes.

The pack will include a Bluetooth speaker cane charm, another charm of the 
winner’s choice, and a cane tip of the winner’s choice, a $60 vallue. One 
cane equals 1 raffle entry. If you are not able to attend state convention 
but would still like to take part in the raffle or if you would like more 
information on this program please contact Vee Gaspa at:
