As we head into the holidays and reflect on the past 12 months, we’re humbled by the progress we’ve made together. This year, we had the honor of serving 500 children and 1,000 family members through our Journey of Care. From forging new partnerships and opening two new playgrounds, to witnessing children reach milestones once thought impossible, we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do this work.
 
Every milestone, each success and every life we touch is the reflection of a dedicated staff, generous volunteers and donors, and impactful partners. Thank you for your belief in our mission.

This week was filled with holiday cheer as we celebrated the season with a visit and performance by the Turkish American Ladies League, where our kiddos got to enjoy festive favorites sung by Opera and Broadway performer Demetra George.
 
We also received a holiday gift donation for our Adopt‑A‑Family program from our generous friends at Glaukos. And of course, we wrapped up the week with our annual holiday performance. This annual event is always a favorite and an opportunity for families to gather to celebrate the season through songs performed by our amazing classroom kiddos.
 
We’re humbled by the generosity shown from so many supporters. We could not continue our work without you💜

Highlights from last weekend's Winter Wonderland ❄️☃

Our kiddos and families spent the morning diving into pure holiday fun filled with cookie decorating, hot cocoa, and even snow! We loved seeing our southern California kids enjoy a little winter joy!

Thank you to volunteers and generous donors who make moments like this truly magical. 💫🎄🔔

This holiday season, we were for grateful to have the Orange County Woodworkers Association come together in support of Beyond Blindness. They spent part of their Thanksgiving weekend distributing handmade toys for our kiddos. From dump trucks to tricycles, these toys are truly one-of-a-kind.

Thank you for thinking of us and for bringing cheer to our community. We can’t wait to see kiddos faces when they receive their special toy! 🎄🎅🎁

Today is ! On the world’s biggest day of giving, you can help Beyond Blindness make a significant impact for children like Alana, born with Peters’ anomaly, a rare congenital eye condition that causes blindness. Thanks to therapy services at Beyond Blindness, Alana is thriving, and family support programs ensure her brother joins in the fun through activities like Inclusive Summer Camp.

This is what comprehensive care looks like: meeting families where they are and creating real, lasting impact.

Your generosity on will allow us to support more families. Donate today to have your gift DOUBLED through a matching gift from the McBeth Foundation:https://www.givegab.com/campaigns/2025-beyond-blindness-year-end-campaign
