National Federation of the Blind Partners with MV  Transportation
to Increase Opportunity for the Blind
Funds to be Raised for National Federation of the  Blind Imagination Fund
Baltimore, Maryland  (February 6, 2008): The National  Federation of the 
Blind (NFB), the nation’s oldest and largest organization  of the blind, is 
partnering with MV Transportation, Inc., the largest  privately held and 
domestically owned transportation management company in  the United States. Since MV's  
founding, the company has grown significantly - not through major  acquisitions 
or mergers - but through hard work that makes a  difference.   
MV Transportation will form  several teams across the nation to help raise 
funds for the March for  Independence: A Walk for Opportunity.  The 5K Walk for 
Opportunity,  which will be held in Dallas on July 2, to kick off the annual 
convention of  the National Federation of the Blind, will support the National 
Federation  of the Blind imagination Fund.  The Imagination Fund finances the  
research and training programs of the National Federation of the Blind  
Jernigan Institute and also supports the NFB’s affiliates in each of the  fifty 
states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. 
Dr. Marc Maurer, president  of the National Federation of the Blind, said: “
The National Federation of  the Blind is pleased to work with MV Transportation 
to increase  opportunities for blind Americans of all ages.  The funds raised 
 through the Walk for Opportunity will support the creation and enhancement  
of innovative programs for blind youth, new technologies to increase the  
independence and productivity of blind workers, and programs to help senior  
citizens who are losing vision, as well as the development of similar  efforts in 
communities across the nation through the work of the state  affiliates and 
local chapters of the National Federation of the Blind.   We hope that many other 
organizations will follow the outstanding   leadership example set by MV  
Transportation and help us reach our goal of $1 million by July 2,  2008.” 
“We are equally excited  about this incredible opportunity to work with a 
great organization and  advocate for persons who are visually impaired,” said Jon 
Monson, MV’s chief  executive officer.  “MV’s corporate promise is to ensure 
that we remain  committed to supporting the NFB and organizations like it who 
are equally  committed to empowering people with disabilities and educating  
others.” 
Dwight D. Sayer, community  relations manager for MV Transportation and a 
member of the National  Federation of the Blind, said: “MV Transportation 
understands the importance  of empowering the blind in order to help them achieve 
full integration into  American society.  That is why we are partnering with the 
NFB.  MV  strongly believes that when we provide transportation services, we 
provide  the freedom of independence to those who desire it most.”
