NFBCO BELL Slideshow

The NFB of Colorado has a slideshow for our 2013 BELL program.  Check it out!  It is made up of all pictures but it can be shown to sighted people to let them know what our BELL program is all about and how much fun the kids have every year!  We are also working on a BELL video so stay tuned and share our video.  It is the NFB of Colorado's first contribution to YouTube!

Have you ever dreamed of spending a couple of weeks in Hawaii, traveling internationally, going on a cruise, spending time in the mountains, taking your kiddos to Disney, or going on an African safari? Let your imagination take you away on the vacation of a lifetime. Our Amazing Vacation travel Raffle can make your vacation dreams a reality. 

The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado is hosting an Amazing Vacation Travel Raffle in which you can purchase tickets to win a $3,500.00 gift card from E-Travel Unlimited that can be used for the vacation or vacations of your choosing. Tickets are 1 for $10.00 or 3 for $20.00.

Proceeds support our Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) program which allows kiddos ages 4-12 to learn Braille for two weeks during the summer. Proceeds also support our NFBCO scholarship program in which we give over $15,000 in scholarships to blind college students in Colorado. Both of these programs are worth supporting.
