The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.
You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
State Convention
The state convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Arizona is the state’s largest gathering of blind people. At this gathering, we come together in love, hope, and determination to share our positive philosophy of blindness and set our agenda for the coming year.
Are you ready to become a part of our movement?

See’s Candies Affiliate Fundraiser 2021
The Affiliate Fundraising Committee has decided that people need the option of high quality chocolate year round to help celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Birthdays, “Because I want Chocolate” days !
For this reason, the Affiliate See’s Candies Fundraiser ends on December 31st 2021 but don’t wait until the last day, order today!! You can even order multiple times throughout the year!
Click on the link below to be directed to the Affiliate Storefront where you can purchase the chocolate. Only purchases made through this link or the Affiliate storefront will go towards the Affiliate. As a reminder, this is a fundraiser therefore the prices are slightly higher than if you purchase directly from See’s. If people would like to donate directly to the affiliate instead of purchasing chocolate they can also do that by making a donation on our website or send a check to our treasurer, Donna Silba.
