White Cane Awareness Day is October 15, a date is set aside to celebrate the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired and the symbol of blindness and tool of independence that many of them use: the white cane.
Join SCCB staff and other attendees to walk the trail around the ponds (the walk is about one mile). There will be demonstrations of how to use a white cane and vision simulators available for attendees to experience different types of visual impairments.
Yoga classes for kids and adults will be offered, with the option of wearing a blind fold for the “Yoga in the Dark” experience, by Foundation for Fighting Blindness staff.
Thanks to Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired South Carolina and Foundation for Fighting Blindness for assisting with this event!
When: October 15, 9 am – 12 pm
Where: Grand Park, 1119 Farrow Parkway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
