Blindness Awareness Month

Did you know that Blindness Awareness Month started in October 2009, here in New Jersey?

Blindness Awareness Month seeks to accomplish many things. Among them are:

Education, Inspiration, and Advocacy.

CBVI’s Annual Blindness Awareness Month (BAM) event is held every October in recognition of Blindness Awareness Month and is CBVI’s own Community Resource Fair.

At this Resource Fair, people of all ages can come and learn about the services provided by CBVI through conversations and interactive demonstrations with CBVI employees.

In addition, organizations that assist in providing services and resources are featured at the event and ready to share information on how they too provide support to the blind, deafblind, and visually impaired community.
