  NEVADA BLIND CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION UPDATES STATE’S ONLY BRAILLE RESOURCE LIBRARY WITH UNEXPECTED GIFT FROM TIMBERS HOSPITALITY GROUP

  LAS VEGAS – August 9, 2012 – The only Braille resource library in the state, housed at the Nevada Blind Children’s Foundation (NBCF) office, got a much-needed upgrade this week with the addition of three new wooden book carrels, purchased with a generous donation from Timbers Hospitality Group. An unexpected gift of the kid-sized solid wood carrels on wheels helped to better browse, organize and display Braille books. 

“We are so grateful to Timbers, one of our long-time sponsors, for giving us this opportunity to improve our library resources,” said Linda Maneen, NBCF’s Director of Operations. “An unexpected gift like this means the world to NBCF, and allows our children greater access to the Braille books that are available for their enjoyment.”

With resources like pre-reader books with Braille and print words interlined to high school novels like the Harry Potter series, the Braille library at NBCF is open during the week and is free to children who are blind and their parents.

Timbers Hospitality Group has been an advocate for NBCF since its inception in 2006, donating proceeds from its annual Horny Toad Golf Tournament, and supporting the Ladybug Campaign each May by selling paper ladybugs in its many locations in Las Vegas and Henderson.

 THIRD ANNUAL WHITE CANE DAY WINE TASTING FUNDRAISER CELEBRATES BLIND CHILDREN’ SYMBOL OF INDEPENDENCE, RAISES MONEY FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

Wine, hors d’oeuvres, and raffle prizes featured at annual event

 LAS VEGAS – The third annual White Cane Day Wine Tasting event, benefiting Nevada Blind Children’s Foundation (NBCF), will be held on Thursday, October 20, to raise funds for educational programs for blind and visually impaired children in Las Vegas. Hosted at Cili Restaurant at Bali Hai Golf Course from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m., this annual event will feature wines provided by Southern Wine & Spirits, LLC., explained by master sommeliers led by Jay James. Hors d’oeuvres designed to enhance each wine will be created by Cili Executive Chef Stan Carroll. Entrance to the event is $80 per person and reservations can be made by emailing info@nvblindchildren.org. Additional information can be found by calling (702) 735-6223 or visiting www.nvblindchildren.org.

The event commemorates White Cane Safety Day, a national day of observance held every year on October 15 since its inception in 1964, to celebrate the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired.

“The white cane represents a tool of independence, making it easier for blind and visually impaired children to further explore their world,” explains Lori Moroz-White, NBCF’s Executive Director. “We want to continue to promote self-reliance and confidence in the children we work with.”

Since the inaugural event in 2009, the White Cane Day Wine Tasting helps to raise money needed to provide educational services such as Braille tutoring, blind-specific technology assistance, and other programs that directly benefit the blind and visually impaired children and their families living in the Las Vegas area.

“With no school for the blind in the state of Nevada, NBCF provides the educational support these children need, and offers a support base for their parents,” explains NBCF Director of Operations Linda Maneen. “Raising funds through events like the White Cane Day Wine Tasting help ensure that each blind child’s educational future is secure.”

 DISCOVERY DAY CAMP AT NEVADA BLIND CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION OFFERS VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHILDREN AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND SUMMER CAMP

Four-day camp combines fun and education with practical skills

LAS VEGAS – July 19, 2011 – Blind and visually impaired children can now participate in summer camp like their sighted peers with “Discovery Day Camp” at Nevada Blind Children’s Foundation (NBCF).  Hosted at the Foundation (3811 W. Charleston Blvd., Ste. 208), “Discovery Day Camp” runs Monday, July 25 – Thursday, July 28, 2011 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. The camp is free of charge.

“Children with visual impairments often don’t have options when it comes to summer camps,” explains NBCF Director of Operations Linda Maneen. “They can’t just go to the YMCA or sleep-away camp to join in the fun with other kids. There has to be activities that are designed specifically for them.”

Recognizing that many of the blind and visually impaired children that NBCF serves during the school year are not able to join their sighted peers at a regular camp, “Discovery Day Camp” was born. This four-day camp offers children with visual impairments the chance to interact with other blind children their age and learn practical skills in an environment that encourages independence, wholesome activity and education.

“We believe in helping our blind and visually impaired children develop confidence and skills by combining fun and education into one experience,” explains Lori Moroz-White, NBCF’s Executive Director. “Even playing Braille Twister gets our kids moving around and recalling Braille alphabet letters, all in one fun activity.”

Some of the Summer Day Camp activities scheduled include:

• Goalball at  Opportunity Village (a blind specific  Paralympics sport)
• Yoga with Aileen Epstein-Ignadiou internationally Certified Yoga Instructor
• Pottery wheel with art therapist Valerie McKenzie
• Showdown a blind persons version of table tennis

 For Immediate Release

LAS VEGAS – June 10, 2011 – A generous donation from Sir Paul McCartney afforded local blind and visually impaired children an opportunity to experience the legendary musician live in concert during his June 10 stop in Las Vegas on his ‘Up and Coming’ tour.

That kind of thoughtfulness means a lot of a group like ours.”
