Buy an NFB Groupon July 11-18 to Support Braille Literacy through the 
Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) programs


The National Federation of the Blind, the nation's leading advocate for 
Braille literacy, and Groupon Grassroots, the philanthropic arm of Groupon, 
are teaming up to bring Braille into the lives of more blind children who 
need it.

The NFB Groupon will be available on the Groupon page beginning on July 11, 
and running through July 18.  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.

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!

To participate in the Braille literacy effort, visit our unique Groupon 
page. It can be found at 
http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-brd-grs-national-federation-of-blind

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 Groupon's 
subscription Web page.

Spread the word about Braille literacy and the BELL program. Share this link 
with your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, and via e-mail. Every $15 
helps to end the Braille literacy crisis!
