This week, we recognize DeafBlind Awareness Week!

DeafBlindness is a sensory disability that affects every person's ability to connect, communicate, and navigate the world. Yet every day, individuals who are DeafBlind demonstrate incredible resilience, determination, and strength.

At the Arizona Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired, we're proud to provide the training, resources, and support that empower individuals who are DeafBlind to live independently, pursue their goals, and build meaningful connections.
This week, we celebrate our clients, honor their achievements, and reaffirm our commitment to creating a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

đź’™ Join us in raising awareness, fostering inclusion, and celebrating the extraordinary individuals who inspire us every day.

đź’ś One year ago, Jorge could only make it a few feet up the climbing wall.

This year, he made it all the way to the top.

That transformation didn't happen by accident. It happened because of opportunity, support, and determination.

Today, we're building an adaptive gym at ACBVI so more individuals who are blind or visually impaired can gain strength, confidence, and independence.

We're excited to share that we've already raised $12,105 toward our $20,000 goal—but we still need your help to get across the finish line.

Every gift brings us one step closer to opening the gym and creating more success stories like Jorge's.

❤️ Help us reach our goal and change lives.

🌟 ACBVI Adventures: Reaching New Heights! 🌟

Our community took on an exciting challenge—indoor rock climbing! With harnesses strapped in and encouragement all around, our clients who are blind and visually impaired showed that determination knows no limits.

From the first step on the wall to the cheers echoing across the gym, this day wasn’t just about climbing—it was about confidence, teamwork, and proving that nothing can hold you back from adventure. 💪🧗

At ACBVI, we believe every experience is an opportunity to grow stronger, braver, and more connected. Thank you to our amazing volunteers and partners who make these unforgettable moments possible.

👉 Together, we rise. Together, we climb.

The Next Generation of Changemakers! At the start of the summer, three brothers came up with an idea during bedtime stories — they wanted to lead their very own service project to help people who are blind or visually impaired. They spent the week making flyers, going door-to-door to share their mission (even their 5-year-old confidently told the story!), and this morning they set up their lemonade stand. Every time a neighbor stopped, they poured lemonade and explained that all proceeds were going to ACBVI. The community responded with incredible generosity. We are so inspired by their kindness, courage, and determination. Thank you for proving that no matter your age, you can make a difference! Want to support ACBVI and help change lives? You can host your own fundraiser, make a gift, or get involved today! https://donate.acbvi.org

Mission in Action: Chef Thomas Serves More Than Meals

At ACBVI, food means more than nourishment—it’s dignity, connection, and choice. Executive Chef Thomas, inspired by a childhood where food was sometimes scarce, now prepares hundreds of nutritious meals each week for people who are blind, visually impaired, DeafBlind, or living with combined vision and hearing loss.

From carefully plating meals to building bonds with clients, Thomas puts love and creativity into every dish—even as rising costs and shrinking donations make it harder to provide fresh, healthy options. Our summer hunger campaign will help him offer balanced, personalized meals and more variety to those who need it most.
