Celebration of Life for Scott LaBarre

Scott C.

The outpouring of love from the Federation family, as well as the disability rights and legal communities, has been felt by his loved ones. A Celebration of Life to honor Scott will be held January 21, 2023, in Denver, Colorado at 4:30 p.m. MT. Those wishing to participate in-person are asked to RSVP for planning purposes.

New: Scott C. LaBarre Leadership and Justice Fund

In coordination with the LaBarre family, the National Federation of the Blind Board of Directors has established a fund for memorial donations made in honor of Scott C. LaBarre and his contribution to the development of leadership within the organized blind movement and the broader legal profession. 

The goal of this fund will be to advance efforts to promote leadership development and educational opportunities for blind people, with a preference for supporting internships, educational training/conferences, or other activities that assist blind individuals in expanding their participation in the legal profession or in providing greater leadership in advocacy for the blind.

Sending Messages & Support

Per the request of Scott’s family, memorial contributions should be directed to the National Federation of the Blind <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28252&qid=8160717>  for the work to empower blind people to live the lives they want, to which he gave so much. 

Please share memories and messages to the LaBarre family by sending an email to slabarre at nfb.org <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28253&qid=8160717> .
