Convention Concert at #NFB21:
We are excited to announce that there will be a fabulous virtual concert held this year at National Convention on the evening of July 6, 2021, anywhere and everywhere! The evening will be full of great talent and will raise money for the National Federation of the Blind and its Performing Arts Division.
This is where you come in! We welcome anyone to submit a selection by May 15th to be considered by our panel. We will be choosing artists to be featured during the virtual concert, as well as at other points throughout the convention. All the information will be forthcoming at www.nfb-pad.org.
Let’s go build the National Federation of the Blind, because we are truly stronger together!
