Raising
Vision Impairment Awareness Through Blindfold Run/Walk
|
|
|
Furnace Brook Middle School Principal, Patrick Sullivan, with his son Cooper at the “I Am...Not Alone. We’re in this Together” Blindfold Run/Walk
Our recent Blindfold Run/Walk entitled “I Am...Not Alone. We’re in this Together”, which we held with the Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield,
was a great success!
Twenty teams of two participated in our Blindfold Run/Walk held Sunday, October 16th at Martinson Elementary School track in Marshfield. The event was geared towards raising awareness of the challenges of blind and visually impaired individuals and participants included Marshfield sixth, seventh and eighth graders and their family members, TIC and Furnace Brook Middle School staff,
and community members.
Thanks to our sponsors - Tiny & Sons Glass Co., Capeway Opticians, Bond Printing and Marketing, Furnace Brook Middle School, Massachusetts Association for the Blind
and Visually Impaired (MABVI), Team with a Vision - and everyone who participated!
TIC would like to expand this initiative and continue to raise awareness by holding the Blindfold Run/Walk at other schools throughout the South Shore.
Schools that are interested in holding a Blindfold Run/Walk event
may contact Anna Dunbar of TIC (781) 834-4400.
