Junior Blind Olympics

 

The Junior Blind Olympics is the premier event for athletes from across the country who are blind and visually impaired. The event allows access for all youth, despite their disabilities, to participate in challenging, fun and confidence-building activities. Competition includes shot put, archery, rowing, soccer throw, goal ball, rock climbing, running long jump and 100-yard dash.

2009 Event Recap

We would like to congratulate our outstanding athletes who competed in last year’s Junior Blind Olympics! The event, held on Saturday, April 18, 2009, welcomed over 850 athletes, family members and volunteers—our biggest turnout yet! The day’s success was made possible in part by Junior Blind’s Co-hosts, the Optimist Blind Youth Association and of course, our generous and dedicated Corporate Sponsors. Last year, we were pleased to welcome Chumash Casino Resort as our Olympic Sponsor, and it was a great pleasure to welcome back CVS/pharmacy and HBO as our Medallion Sponsors. We truly appreciate all the amazing support and commitment!

Thank you to all who participated!
