Register for White Cane Day

After last year’s incredibly successful and historic march, we are gearing up for the second annual White Cane Day march across the Golden Gate Bridge! The 1.7-mile march across the bridge will begin at 10:00 am from the Sausalito Vista Point, and an after party and picnic lunch will be held at West Bluff Picnic Area at Chrissy Field. Shuttle service to the Vista Point will be provided from the LightHouse HQ at 1155 Market Street at 9:00 am, with a return service from Chrissy Field back to LightHouse at approximately 2:00 pm. For additional information about the LightHouse Shuttle, please refer to the RSVP form linked here<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=aDTgw1XvSEKdrcKhdpCdAHYW6qyNC65MlXtrl4qATFxURTJWRElIMUpFS1Y2S1hXNkdZRTRKMkk4NC4u&mc_cid=15b6584187&mc_eid=UNIQID>.

Can’t Attend? You Can Still Participate

For those of you unable to attend the White Cane Day march in person on October 5, you can still virtually participate in our social media campaign. Whether you are unable to make the 1.7-mile journey, or if you are out of the area, LightHouse is encouraging our community to either:

  *   Do an activity that best accommodates your physical abilities
  *   Walk across another bridge local to you
Then, snap a photo of yourself or your group doing the above activity and post it on social media using the hashtag #WCD2024. And don’t forget to tag LightHouse using the handle: @lighthouse_sf.

We aim to spread awareness, encourage inclusion, and to educate and disprove misconceptions of blindness. Together, we can bridge the gap between the sighted and BVI communities!
