NFB PLEDGE
I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the
National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality,
opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the
policies and programs of the Federation and to abide
by its constitution.
NFB MESSAGE
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 their dreams.
You can live the life you want; blindness is not what
holds you back.
TRIBUTE TO OUR SPONSORS
We extend our sincerest gratitude to our Title Sponsor;
Colorado Center for the Blind.
Since 1988, the CCB has been changing what it
means to be blind one life at a time. The Center
has provided world class blindness training to
students from all over the world. Contact Julie
Deden, Executive Director,
