 The Holiday Party was organized in 2003 to help families of blind and visually impaired children to come together and meet other families that may have similar challenges. It is not uncommon for families to think there is no one else sharing their experience. By attending the Holiday Party, families can witness first hand that they are not alone. You may have a blind or visually impaired child right in your own neighborhood!
Invitations are distributed through the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired for children who are registered under the age of twelve. The children and their families are invited to share a day of fun and excitement.
The party consists of games and prizes, face painting, world famous balloon twister, music and buffet lunch. Children leave with smiles on their faces and can’t wait to return next year!

Cooking Without Looking
Location: YMCA Camp Ockanickon, Medford NJ
March 3rd, 2012
Cooking Without Looking was established in March 2010, when eight blind and visually
impaired children had a wonderful time as they cut and peeled
vegetables, mixed ingredients for homemade lasagna and generally got
their hands “dirty” cooking at Joe Palombo’s Mirabella Café in
Cherry Hill.
Hosted by The Little Rock Foundation, “Cooking Without Looking” was
the first workshop designed to teach blind and visually impaired
children the real world experience of cooking. sponsored by the Little
Rock Foundation and the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually
Impaired.
