For the Honor Roll Call:

Each year affiliates and national divisions make donations to the funds that
help sustain our movement: Kenneth Jernigan Fund, Jacobus tenBroek Memorial
Fund, SUN Fund, and White Cane Fund. Starting in 2021 and for future years,
all affiliates and divisions are asked to make contributions or pledges
starting May 1. Affiliates and divisions should send an email to
<mailto:rollcall at nfb.org> rollcall at nfb.org to let us know the name of the
organization, how much it is contributing to each fund, and when the check
is expected to be mailed. We will collect and track this information as
contributions are received. We ask that all pledges be fulfilled by August
1, 2021. You should make donations to the Kenneth Jernigan Fund, SUN Fund,
and White Cane Fund payable to National Federation of the Blind, and
donations to the Jacobus tenBroek Memorial Fund payable to that fund. Make
sure to put Honor Roll Call in the memo of any check sent for this purpose,
and mail it to 200 East Wells Street, Baltimore, MD 21230, Attention: Fiscal
Services - Roll Call.

 

Door Prizes:

We are accepting door prizes for the 2021 National Convention. We request
cash donations so that we can distribute gift cards and gift certificates as
prizes. Cash donations make it easier to create prize groups and to
distribute prizes from one location. Please make your checks payable to
National Federation of the Blind and write Door Prizes in the memo. You
should mail the check to National Federation of the Blind, 200 East Wells
Street, Baltimore, MD 21230, Attention: Fiscal Services - DP. By addressing
the check this way, we will easily identify it as a door prize and process
it accordingly. You can also send an email to  <mailto:prize at nfb.org>
prize at nfb.org to let us know you are sending a contribution for the door
prizes and the full name of the organization that the contribution is from.
We want to make sure we recognize your organization in our thank-you list.
You can contact Bridgid Burke ( <mailto:bburke at nfb.org> bburke at nfb.org or

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 back.
