Fall AADB Dinne Fundraiser

Fall Dinner Fundraiser The AADB Fall Dinner Fundraiser, held at Maggiano's in Washington DC, was a great success with a full house of approximately 80 people, including representatives from corporations, national organizations, federal government agencies, and universities, as well as a diversity of deaf-blind, deaf and hard of hearing, hearing, and blind and visually impaired guests.

Our guest speaker, Mike May, CEO of Sendero Group, a company that makes the Braille GPS, delivered an inspiring speech aptly called, "There is Always a Way." He presented on his life and exploits, including the time when he skied downhill at 65 miles an hour, and became the fastest blind person on skis. He gave the encouraging message that people with disabilities can do anything if they try it. Photo Caption: Jamie Pope speaks about AADB's advocacy efforts with technology. The fundraiser’s theme was on assistive technology for deaf-blind people. Jamie Pope, AADB Executive Director, presented on AADB's advocacy efforts for accessible technology. The fundraiser raised approximately $7,000 in funds for AADB. More information, including a photo album and a partial list of AADB's Advocacy Activities in our program book will be available soon on the AADB website. ---------------- (Source: AADB Today)
