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:
