Our 7th Annual Carroll Center for the Blind Walk for INDEPENDENCE is coming up on Saturday, April 28th! The day will kick off with a one mile and three mile walk around the amazing neighborhoods of Newton Centre. Bring along your guide dog or family pets - all are welcome to enjoy a cookout, great music, accessible games, giveaways, and much more. All of the activities offer unique opportunities for both sighted and visually impaired people to participate. Create a team and make an even bigger impact! This event is fun for the whole family and celebrates how active blind and visually impaired people can be. As neighbors within the community, this event will bring all who attend closer to understanding our differences.

 

Make your bid to support blind and visually impaired people of ALL ages and ALL stages of vision loss!

Now is your chance to not only get all the great items you want, but to do it knowing you are helping support our organization and mission. 

Each year The Carroll Center for the Blind helps 5,000 blind or visually impaired children, adults, and senior citizens learn to be confident, active, and independent. Here, they will learn to focus on what they can do, rather than focusing on what they can't. 

Established in 1936, The Carroll Center helps by (1) providing rehabilitation, skills training, and educational opportunities to achieve independence, self-sufficiency and self-fulfillment, and by (2) educating communities about the potential of persons who are blind and visually impaired.

For over 80 years, The Carroll Center has pioneered innovative services for the blind and visually impaired by developing methods for people with vision loss to learn the skills to be independent in their homes, in class settings, and in their work places, preparing them for diverse opportunities for success and independent living.
