National White Cane Day

Saturday, October 15, 2022

1 :00-4:00 PM

Garden City Center, Cranston

Come help us raise awareness that white canes promote

independence. Let's spread the word that cane use

empowers the blind and vision impaired.

This year our event will focus on family friendly fun! We will have a balloon artist, face painting, music, food, and more! In addition, we will have a motivational speaker, Jay Blake. Jay Blake is a blind mechanic, who is also the owner and crew chief of FOLLOW YOUR DREAM racing. Jay will be bringing one of his exciting cars!

Bring your family and friends!

Wear the cane colors (red. white and black) to show your support!

THANK YOU TO OUR PARTICIPANTS
