White Cane Day celebrates people living with blindness! However, the observance is often used as an opportunity to educate people about vision loss. At Garfield Elementary in Washington State, students walked around with canes to get a better understanding of what a day-in-the-life is like for six of their fellow students. Wearing blindfolds, the students also played beep kickball.

"It's very fun seeing other kids do what we do," said Sadie, who has septo-optic dysplasia.

Please contact SDCB if blindness or visual impairment is affecting your life quality, we can help.
