🎾🚲 We had a LOVEly time celebrating National Tennis Month through our Tennis and Outdoor Recreation Event with the Association for Coaching Excellence (ACE) and Blind Outdoor Leisure Development (B.O.L.D) programs. It was a fun mix of blind tennis, tandem biking around North Park, and playing yard games — a little something for everyone.

A shoutout to Dana Costa and her team from ACE for providing top tier tennis instruction and to the B.O.L.D team for bringing tandems, recruiting biking captains, and bringing the energy! Thank you🩵👏🏼

Last month, we presented at both the Pennsylvania-Delaware AER and the AER of Ohio (AERO) Conference. These events bring together professionals dedicated to supporting individuals who are blind or visually impaired and we were proud to share more about the opportunities and resources that Envision provides.

We’re always grateful for the chance to connect with vision specialists, educators, therapists, and other professionals who work hard to make opportunities more accessible for the blind and visually impaired community!

Race Roster donations have officially closed and while we may not have reached our final goal, this was our most successful marathon fundraiser yet!🎉

We’re incredibly thankful to every person who donated, shared our mission, cheered on our runners, and ran for a reason. The dedication from our Envision team and supporters continues to make a meaningful impact on our athletes and our community.

💙 Thank you for being part of something so special and for helping make this year’s marathon fundraiser one to remember.

🏃‍♂️💙 Envision team member, Scott Hudson, was recently featured in a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article highlighting Pittsburgh Marathon weekend. As a 74-year old Texas resident living with Retinitis Pigmentosa, Scott has traveled to Pittsburgh for the marathon the past three years to share his love for running. This year, he completed the 5K and the first leg of the marathon relay. Scott has played a meaningful role in the launch of Envision and continues to support our mission each year by showing up, giving back, and inspiring others!
