Welcome to the Colorado Gives Season! Colorado Gives Day, Tuesday, December 9, is a statewide community celebration of giving to Colorado nonprofits.
Early giving is already open! So, you can support the life-changing work of the Colorado Center for the Blind with an early gift on our Colorado Gives page!
We believe that blind people can do anything. And because we believe in our blind students, we challenge them to learn and grow in a community of support. In the process, they learn to believe in themselves and that they can achieve their dreams.
That's a life-changing combination.
Jeremy came from his home state of Kentucky in January for our Independence Training Program. A licensed mental health therapist, he had been losing his sight since childhood as a result of a degenerative condition.
"As a CCB graduate, I have hard skills now," wrote Jeremy of his September graduation from the Center, "useful, tangible ways of getting around and taking care of business: cane skills, mass transit, Braille, access technology, screen readers, and AI. I’m even in better shape, and I was never not “in shape.” But these are not what I value most about my time in Colorado. ... As much as I learned from individual instructors, my primary teacher at CCB was the community...."
Since graduating, he has permanently relocated to Colorado, completed licensing requirements in the state, and plans to resume work in his chosen profession.
"To everyone I have encountered along the way at CCB, all of you queens and kings of West Shepperd Avenue, I say thank you. Do this hard work, then go share your light with the world."
