From exciting games to great food, this is more than the average awareness walk; it’s an experience.
The Walk for INDEPENDENCE is meant to bring the community together to celebrate and support our mission: to provide skills training and education to the blind and visually impaired to achieve independence and to lead a fulfilling life.
This year we welcome Shayna Seymour, Chronicle Anchor, as our Emcee and WCVB Channel 5 ABC as our television media sponsor.
The day will kick off with a one (1) mile and three (3) mile walk around the scenic neighborhoods of Newton Center.
Bring along your guide dog or family pets - all are welcome to enjoy a cookout, great music, accessible activities and games, giveaways, and much more.

- 1 & 3 Mile Walk
- Cookout
- Balloon Animals
