This week Rob, Ryan and Steve welcome friend of the show and founder of Blind Beginnings, Shawn Marsolais, back to announce a very momentous milestone for the organization – after 10 years of being in a shared office space, Blind Beginnings is moving to their own larger space in Vancouver in January 2025. The organization aims to raise $25,000 through a Giving Tuesday and Year End campaign to set up this new home, which includes five offices, three larger rooms, and a playroom. Shawn talks about the move and what it will mean for Blind Beginnings going forward and the positive impact it will have on programming for families with blind or partially sighted children or teens.
