100 Years of Impact

September 23 marks the official centennial of the American Foundation for the Blind's founding. Thank you to our allies and supporters who have joined us in promoting accessibility, equity, and opportunity for people who are blind or visually impaired. Tonight, AFB is rebroadcasting our virtual “Art of Inclusion” gala from March 2021 so that people from around the country can join in the celebration of this huge 100-year milestone.
