We want to bring your attention to an exciting event taking place here at the on Sunday, June 24. At least, it will start and finish at the Center, because it is the first , and we invite you to and walk, run or roll! Funds raised go to the , the organization that founded the and whose fund-raising kept the doors of the CCB open for many years afterward.

The practical application of the philosophy we teach here at the Center is the philosophy of the National Federation of the , whose tag line is “ness is not what holds you back. You can live the life you want.”

We also want to give special recognition to Comcast, Title Sponsor for our first-ever 6 Dot Dash in Colorado!

“6Dots” refers to the six dots that make up the Braille cell, and so are the fundamental elements of that revolutionary reading system for the blind. The National Federation of the of Colorado advocates for blind children to learn to read and write in Braille with its annual Braille Enrichment in Literacy and Learning (BELL) Academies held across the state.

In addition, college scholarships for blind students, advocacy for blind parents and other blind Coloradans are among the important work of the NFB of Colorado.

The Expo opens at 8 a.m. and the race starts at 10 a.m. There will be blind beer tasting at noon.
