Yesterday, we celebrated White Cane Day at Miami Lighthouse for the Blind, and our entire community showed up and OUT, with over 200 people attending! This epic event included a parade with over 150 individuals who are blind and visually impaired marching through the streets of Little Havana, escorted by the City of Miami Police  Department and @miamifirerescue. 👟🎺👏

On White Cane Day, we celebrate the independence of people who are blind or visually impaired, and raise awareness about the importance of the white cane as a symbol of blindness and tool of independence, with our White Cane Day Walk. 🦯

After the walk, our community enjoyed live performances by the Miami Lighthouse Choir, speeches by Community Leaders, and an exciting raffle made possible by our sponsors, and so much more. We thank the Miami Herald Director of Community Affairs, @raymondduenas_, for emceeing the event, Miami Lighthouse Board Director Milly Montes and our community Montes Family McDonald's for donating lunch to attendees!

We thank the City of Miami Police Department, including Commander Maurice Pons and Sergeant Vazquez, and the City of Miami Department of Fire-Rescue for keeping everyone safe. 

We thank our super generous sponsors: @uber, @tdbank_us, GrayRobinson, @lionsclubs District 35-N, Ambutech, and our media sponsors: Samantha Murphy and the Harries Family from @305hive, Karla Richey from @miamikidsmagazine with mascot Sharky, Billy the Marlin from the @marlinsimpact Foundation, and @seed_of_light_inc radio, for making this event possible.
