for future years, all affiliates and divisions were asked to make
contributions or pledges starting May 1. Affiliates and divisions should
send an email 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, 2022. 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

	Door Prizes:
We are accepting door prizes for the 2022 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 prize at nfb.org
<mailto: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 (bburke at nfb.org

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.
