Raise money for Blind Beginnings
At Blind Beginnings, we see the enormous possibilities in children and youth who are blind or partially sighted and we passionately challenge ANY perspectives that limit what they’re capable of or achieving.
No other organization in BC offers the range of programs that we do. We provide services for ages birth to 19 and incorporate programs and support for the whole family because we recognize that blindness impacts parents and siblings too.
We provide counseling and peer support for parents, so they learn how to best support their child. We offer youth a variety of programs and support to help them build their skills and confidence, including independent living skills, employment preparation, and support groups.
Every Step Counts is Blind Beginnings’ 2025 fundraising campaign in partnership with the Vancouver Half Marathon Charity Challenge. Whether you're walking, running, or cheering from the sidelines, your steps will help empower blind and partially sighted children and youth across BC.
All proceeds from Every Step Counts will support our STEP Program – Safe Travel Education for Pre-schoolers. This one-of-a-kind summer program teaches preschool-aged children foundational mobility and independence skills. With your help, we're setting them up to take their very first steps—safely and confidently.
