Over the course of the season, the New England Patriots recognize "Difference Makers" that go above and beyond volunteering throughout New England. Future In Sight's own Kathleen Nichols was selected as one of their Difference Makers and was invited to attend a celebration during the January 4th game at Gillette Stadium where she was presented with her award by Chairman and CEO of the Patriots, Bob Kraft. Bob even ensured that the Patriots beat the Dolphins to make the celebration even more special!

Kathy helps individuals who are blind and visually impaired get to vital medical appointments, run essential errands, and attend Future In Sight programs and activities like our peer support groups. Since 2023, she has completed over 240 rides and driven nearly 6,000 miles!

You can join the Patriots in honoring Kathy's dedication by also becoming a volunteer. Express your interest by visiting the link in the comments.

PD: On the first slide, Kathy smiles widely and holds up a football with her name and Future In Sight on it. On the second, she poses with her husband in the stands of Gillette Stadium. On the final slide, Chairman and CEO of the New England Patriots Robert Kraft presents Kathy and the other Difference Makers with a giant check.
