The Iris Network’s mission is to help people who are visually impaired or blind to attain independence and community integration. At The Iris Network, we facilitate learning the skills to overcome vision loss and maintain an independent and active life at home, at work or in the community. One of those skills is orientation and mobility – how to be out and about on your own even with vision loss.
That is what the White Cane Awareness Walk is about – showing the sighted world that people with visual impairment or blindness can safely travel in their communities with a little help from white canes and service dogs.
The walk starts and ends at Monument Square, will be a gathering place of vendors, music and entertainment. Donations are tax deductible. Prizes for individuals and teams who raise the most money!
