Local Service for Sight
Over the years, the primary beneficiary of our fundraising money and volunteer hours has been the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired (CCVI). The mission of CCVI is to prepare children with visual impairments, including those with multiple disabilities, to function at their highest potential in the sighted world.
In addition to our CCVI efforts, we raise money for Alphapointe, which provides work opportunities for visually impaired adults; Kansas Specialty Dog, which trains seeing eye dogs; and Audio Reader, which puts written material on tape.
