Our first 4th Friday of many to come.

Our table served as an initiative to raise awareness and educate the community about visual impairment and how to support those living with it, especially here in our county.

It was also a great opportunity to connect with other vendors and explore potential new partnerships.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by. You’ll definitely be seeing more of us, so stay tuned.

At the beginning of the month, we received a very special invitation from the Triangle Blind Golf Association to be part of the very first season of accessible golf in the Triangle area. It was truly an honor for the VRC to be part of this meaningful moment and witness the beginning of such an inclusive initiative.

The Triangle Blind Golf Association hosted its inaugural spring kickoff yesterday, May 11. This new nonprofit’s mission is to create opportunities for blind and visually impaired participants to experience golf with guided support, and encouragement.

We enjoyed making new friends, sharing hot dogs, and seeing such incredible community support and city presence throughout the event. We even had the opportunity to introduce the VRC to Leonardo Williams, Durham’s Mayor, who showed up in support of the cause, reminding us how important community leadership is in building accessible spaces for everyone.

We definitely look forward to returning to Hillandale Golf Course !

Thank you to James Davis () for inspiring and creating spaces like this where everyone is welcome.
