Out of the dark and into the light, BLINDSTART is in sight to bring Awareness and Education throughout the dragon boat community. Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),Team BLINDSTART is making history as the first BLIND AND BLINDFOLDED Dragon Boat Race Team to debut at the 2010 Long Beach Dragon Boat Festival. Twenty-five (13 blind, 12 blindfolded) fearless, sightless paddlers will paddle as one representing the award winning 501(c) 3 non-profit organization Blind Start of America (www.BLINDSTART.org) sharing the challenges of the blind and visually impaired through its niche events branded ”Visionary Experiences…Blindfolded!”. BLINDSTART’s paddles are the colors of the “white cane”, and their team logo has the word “VISION” in Braille as the scales of the dragon. BLINDSTART thanks our many volunteers, ICEA, sponsors, and the dragon boat community for embracing our cause and sharing the vision of service and community.
