Though the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic precluded an in-person gathering this year, the online fundraiser, our major fundraiser of the year, allowed guests to learn about living without sight. VLANJ participants shared their experiences in cooking and dining, orientation and mobility, and assistive technology.
Some quotes from those who joined us:
“You have created a wonderful program out of the ashes of the pandemic,” Maureen D said.
“Thanks for all of your efforts to continue the excellent services VLANJ has to offer students,”
added Debbie A.
We extend our sincere thanks to all the sponsors and donors who supported the event! We are so glad that we can continue to share this virtual experience via YouTube.
