Envision Dallas, formerly the Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind (founded 1931), is inviting North Texans to the inaugural White Cane Day Walk. This family-friendly event celebrates people who are blind or visually impaired while raising funds for local programs.
The walk aims to raise $100,000 to support employment, education, and rehabilitation services for individuals with vision loss across the region. Participants will experience a unique route with volunteers providing live animal descriptions, highlighting the white cane as a symbol of skill, freedom, and mobility.
“White Cane Day is more than a walk; it’s a celebration of independence and community,” said Larissa Roman, Executive Director of Envision Dallas. “Every step helps build a more connected North Texas and empowers people with vision loss to thrive.”
