National Federation of the Blind Celebrates White Cane Awareness Day
White canes help blind people live the lives we want. The white cane does more than tell the sighted that we're blind; it is a tool for freedom and self-determination because it allows blind people to come and go on our own. Since we can travel safely and independently, we can contribute in the workplace, in our communities, and in society. Celebrate White Cane Awareness Day on October 15th by giving the gift of independence.
