This week, we kicked off 2026 by hosting our first Beyond Vision Leadership Academy workshop! This new program empowers teens and young adults who are blind, visually impaired, or siblings of someone who is, by providing opportunities to build leadership skills.

Our first session focused on independence and advocacy and featured two Orientation and Mobility Specialists who shared insights on getting involved in IEPs and advocating for themselves in all areas of life.

It was truly inspiring to see these students so engaged and passionate about shaping their future!

Today on World Braille Day, we celebrate Louis Braille, the inventor of the tactile reading and writing system. Braille plays a crucial role in the independence and human rights of blind and visually impaired individuals by promoting accessibility, education, and inclusion in society. We're proud to celebrated this important day, and be a part of this community.

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! 🎄🎅🎁
