Give $20 Campaign 


Each year, thousands of Federation members purchase raffle tickets or make
donations during national convention to various funds that support blind
people.

In 2020, your generosity is still needed to fund our great programs. When
you give $20 or more between May 15 and July 18 noon ET, you will be entered
into the Kenneth Jernigan Convention Drawing to win the following:

*	Round-trip transportation for two for the 2021 NFB National
Convention
*	Hotel at the convention
*	Registration and banquet tickets for two
*	$1,000 in walking-around cash

This drawing will be to support the following funds:

*	Kenneth Jernigan Fund: The proceeds from this fund are used to bring
a number of attendees to their first national convention. It is named for
Dr. Jernigan who planned our conventions for more than forty years and who
did so much to make them what they are today.
*	SUN Fund: These funds are being set aside in the event that they are
needed to support the Federation during difficult times.
*	White Cane Fund: These dollars go directly to the general treasury
of the Federation.
*	tenBroek Fund: These dollars go to the tenBroek Memorial Fund which
owns the property at 200 East Wells at Jernigan Place in Baltimore for the
benefit of blind people.


More Chances to Win!


Each $20 donation is a chance to win. Your name will be placed in the
drawing for each increment of $20 you give. Give $100 and you will be
entered into the drawing five times.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you bac
