Event Details

The mission of the Indiana Blind Children’s Foundation (iBCF) is to invest in the futures of Indiana’s children who are blind and visually impaired in ways that meaningfully enhance their education and their lives. iBCF is a philanthropic foundation that financially supports the unique work of the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

 

While the School is state funded, budgets and resources are shrinking and expenses are rising. Braille textbooks and vision specific, assistive technology are costly. The Indiana Blind Children's Foundation helps to close the gaps and provide technology and programs that will level the "academic playing field" for blind and visually impaired students.

 

Tom Sullivan, known to many as an actor, singer, entertainer, author and producer, was born prematurely in 1947.  Tom was given too much oxygen while in an incubator. Though it saved his life, it cost him his eyesight.

 

The gift of sight is immeasurable in its importance. In a world where color, shapes, distance and all forms of visual perception teach us 80% of what we know, it's hard to imagine living without it. But people do. And with comprehensive education and life skills training, they can lead happy and productive lives.
