Groupon subscribers can pledge support for NFB BELL programs in increments of $15, with each purchase helping to provide one bag of Braille supplies to a blind child participating in the BELL program. <br> <br>The BELL program is a two-week intensive Braille program for all blind children. It incorporates learning centers as well as group lessons and blindness skills. Children participate in recess, explore physical activities, and prepare their own lunches. At the end of the program, each child receives a BELL bag that contains a gift certificate for a Braille book, a slate and stylus, and other items based on each individual program. Every $15 Groupon purchase will fund a BELL bag! <br> <br>To participate in the Braille literacy effort, visit our unique Groupon page. It can be found at <a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-brd-grs-national-federation-of-blind">http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-brd-grs-national-federation-of-blind</a> <br> <br>You must be a Groupon subscriber to purchase a Groupon. If you are not currently a Groupon subscriber and would like to become one in order to purchase a National Federation of the Blind Groupon, you may visit <a href="http://www.groupon.com/subscriptions/new">Groupon’s subscription Web page.</a><br> <br>Spread the word about Braille literacy and the BELL program.
