14th Annual 3K Walk for Sight Scheduled for June 3

CONCORD NH - On Saturday, June 3, Future In Sight will host its 14th Annual Walk for Sight in downtown Concord, New Hampshire. The 3K walk will raise money to enhance and strengthen Future In Sight’s vision rehabilitation services provided to the blind and visually impaired.

Headquartered in Concord, Future In Sight – formerly known as New Hampshire Association for the Blind - was founded in 1912 with the mission to advance the independence of persons who are blind and visually impaired. Over the last 105 years, the organization has grown to offer a complete range of specialized professional education and vision rehabilitation services that help babies, children, adults, and seniors who have little to no vision to obtain access to a full range of services. Future In Sight is the only private, nonprofit provider of statewide, comprehensive direct vision rehabilitation and educational services throughout the state of New Hampshire for persons of all ages who are blind or visually impaired.

This year, Future In Sight hopes to raise $100,000 from the Walk for Sight to expand its services to the blind and visually impaired in New Hampshire and beyond, helping to support its diverse client base, from babies and toddlers to the elderly.

Twenty Walk for Sight participants can sign up to experience what it is like to be on Main Street in Concord as a visually impaired pedestrian, by using blindfolds and simulator glasses, with the assistance of trained sighted guides.

Participants can register online at www.futureinsight.org, by phone at (603) 565-2425, or on-site at 10:00 a.m. on the morning of the walk. Registration is $20 per walker, $5 for those under 12.
