Online Opportunity to Vote for Director of Seedlings Braille Books
Debra Bonde, Founder and Executive Director of Seedlings Braille Books
for
Children, is a finalist for the "Stand On A Better World" award from
Mannington Mills, a leading manufacturer of fine flooring. Mannington
Mills
has recognized Ms. Bonde for her work in furthering the non-profit
mission
of increasing braille literacy by making affordable braille books
available
for blind children.
Mannington, celebrates women across the U.S. who are making a positive
impact in their communities or the world at large by offering a chance
to
win a Stand On A Better World Award in one of three categories: local,
national, and global. One winner will be chosen in each award category,
and
one of those three will be the grand-prize recipient, receiving $25,000
for
the charity of her choice. The other two will receive $10,000 for their
chosen charities.
For the first time, Mannington Mills has added an additional award
category,
Better Your World, which allows an opportunity for the public to cast a
vote
online for one of the finalists from August 15 through September 7. The
winner of the Better Your World Award will receive $10,000 for her
charity.

to cast your vote for Debra Bonde (in the National Section.) Only one
vote
is allowed per person. If you would be so kind as to forward this to
others
who might be willing to take a few seconds to cast a vote in favor of
Debra
Bonde and braille literacy, we would be most grateful!
The positive publicity from this award can only help the cause of
braille
literacy! Seedlings' goal is to help raise the literacy rate among
children
who are blind by providing access to the wonderful literature that is
readily available to sighted children. Through Seedlings, Debra has been
bringing the joy of reading to countless children worldwide for 23
years,
helping them to read and succeed. We applaud her for bringing the
written
word to blind children locally and worldwide.
