You Cane Give: Used Cane Fundraiser
After you stock up on new canes from Adaptations, what to do with those old, out-of-use canes? This year, as part of our White Cane Day celebration, we are partnering with You Cane Give to collect used canes and help them find homes with other blind folks around the world who are in need of one. To donate your cane, please feel free to bring it with you on the day of our march across the bridge or drop it off at the designated bin at LightHouse reception anytime in the month of October.
