Hey there, PA Federation Family,

Can you join Keystone this Saturday? Don't let the high heat, humidity, 
and chance of thunder showers deter you!

It's Philly Fun Walk Week! In this episode of Federation Focus [1], I 
have five meetings to tell you about, including Coffee with the 
President live from Lancaster, three Saturday chapter meetings, and the 
PABS Pre-Semester Power Hour on Sunday night.

The Keystone Chapter meets Saturday, August 8, at 10:15 AM at the Penn 
Museum and on Zoom. After the meeting, we'll walk from the museum to 
Cira Green, climb the stairs, complete a few laps around the park, and 
enjoy lunch together.

Support the Philly Fun Walk. When donating, enter NFB of PA Keystone 
Chapter in the Notes field so the chapter receives credit.

Support the affiliate through our Pampered Chef fundraiser through 
August 22. Shop and the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania 
will receive a portion of your purchase.

I also share opportunities to run or volunteer during Philadelphia 
Marathon Weekend, information about upcoming Greater Lehigh Valley and 
Greater Philadelphia fundraisers, and details about our 2026 State 
Convention, November 5-8 at the Hershey Lodge.

Meeting links, contact information, hotel reservation details, and 
additional fundraising information are below.

Having trouble registering or using the affiliate website? Please reach 
out to me.

Let's go build the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania!

Hello all,

It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of our Greater
Philadelphia Chapter member, Patricia "Patsy" Gibbs, who passed away
peacefully on Sunday, August 2, 2026. She was 69 years old and has been a
GPC member since 2003 and will be deeply missed.

Her family has shared that they find great comfort in knowing they were by
her side during her final moments. They also expressed their heartfelt
gratitude for the love, prayers, and support shown by our chapter members,
affiliate members, and entire Federation family during this difficult time.

A Memorial Service will be held on:
Wednesday, August 12, 2026
11 AM
St. Michael's Evangelical Lutheran Church
2139 East Cumberland Street
Philadelphia, PA 19125

All who would like to attend are welcome to join in honoring Patsy's life
and memory.

If you would like to read Patsy's obituary, you may do so here:
https://everloved.com/life-of/patricia-gibbs/obituary

Please continue to keep her son Richie, Patsy's family, and all who loved
her in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Stacie

Stacie Leap
President, Greater Philadelphia Chapter &
President, Pennsylvania Organization of Blind Parents (POBP),
National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know 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. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

Hey there, PA Federation Family,

I intended to send this out while in Hershey, but forgot with both 
meetings we had. Here is the link to the DAN Group Meeting: 
https://nfb-org.zoom.us/rec/share/oFQtuB3i8M10rZO1BmTYr1OFOqi_VSlBsApAPVOjN2vM7iCReXYt_52gqmyFeTTS.ba5ilQsB6KMC76Ax?startTime=1787004137000

Passcode: qAF3@=ve

Did you place an order at Pampered Chef yet? It is the last week for 
that to help the affiliate. I also hope you'll take a minute to share 
the link below to college students to apply for a $1500 scholarship.

Sending best wishes to Stacie Leap for a speedy recovery!

Federation Focus [1] for the week of August 17 is packed with deadlines, 
meetings, and State Convention updates. Scholarship applications are due 
August 31, and this is the final week of the Pampered Chef fundraiser. I 
cover five meetings, including DAN, Blind Merchants, Walking Alone, 
Marching Together, Capital Area, and Greater Philadelphia. Plus, hear 
about White Canes Connect episode 157, convention hotel and registration 
details, financial assistance, sponsorship and exhibit opportunities, 
and the Philadelphia Marathon. There is a lot happening across the NFB 
of Pennsylvania, so get connected, get involved, and let's keep building 
the Federation together this week, right now.

The convention portion includes hotel and registration information, the 
September 5 financial-assistance deadline, and sponsor/exhibitor 
opportunities.

Scroll down for all the links!

Hello all,
Please share with your networks! This is open to all, regardless of
geographical location.
The Leadership Seminar Committee of the National Federation of the Blind of
Pennsylvania invites you to join us for our monthly podcast listening
session featuring the podcast "Walking Alone and Marching Together" on
Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 4 PM ET via Zoom.

"Walking Alone and Marching Together" explores the rich history,
philosophy, and impact of the National Federation of the Blind. Each
episode offers valuable insights into the organized blind movement, the
challenges blind people have faced throughout history, and the progress
that has been achieved through collective advocacy and action.

Whether you are a new member, a long-time Federationist, or simply
interested in learning more about blindness, leadership, and advocacy, this
listening session provides an excellent opportunity to deepen your
understanding of the Federation's principles and mission. Participants will
have the opportunity to listen together, share reflections, ask questions,
and engage in meaningful discussion about the topics presented in the
episode.

By joining us, you can strengthen your leadership skills, learn from the
experiences of others, and gain a greater appreciation for how blind people
have worked together to create positive change. These discussions help us
better understand our history while preparing us to lead and advocate
effectively in our communities today.

Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2026
Time: 4PM ET
Location: Zoom information below.

We hope you will join us for this engaging and educational conversation.

For more information, please connect with the Co-Chairs of the NFB of PA's
Leadership Seminar Planning Committee:
Michelle McManus: michelleandremy at gmail.com
Stacie Leap: Stacie.leap at gmail.com

Sincerely,
Stacie

Stacie Leap
President, Greater Philadelphia Chapter &
President, Pennsylvania Organization of Blind Parents (POBP),
National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania

 stacie.leap at gmail.com | 215-776-6741

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know 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. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

Subject: [NFBP-Brandywine] Correction: Walkers/Runners Needed for Team NFB at

Message-ID:

Hello all,

The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is putting together a team for
the Philadelphia Marathon, and we are looking for walkers and runners to
participate in the 8K, half marathon, or full marathon.

The race schedule is:

* 8K and Half Marathon: Saturday, November 21, 2026
* Full Marathon: Sunday, November 22, 2026

We are inviting everyone—sighted, blind, or low vision—who would like to
participate to join the NFB team.

As a thank you for your participation, the NFB will cover your registration
fee. In return, participants are asked to commit to fundraising for the NFB
at the following levels:

* 10K: $500 fundraising goal
* Half Marathon: $1,000 fundraising goal
* Full Marathon: $1,500 fundraising goal

If you are interested in becoming a walker or runner on the NFB team,
please contact Rachel Held at rheld at nfb.org
Rachel can provide additional information about registration, fundraising,
and participation.

This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, represent the National
Federation of the Blind, and help raise funds to support the work of the
organization.

Please connect with Rachel as soon as possible if you are interested.

Sincerely

Stacie

President, Pennsylvania Organization of Blind Parents (POBP),

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know 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. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
