Lighthouse Central Florida’s Sight & Sole WalkFest 2021

Lighthouse Central Florida recently held its “finish line” event to celebrate the completion of Sight & Sole WalkFest 2021. The virtual 30-day walking challenge is a fundraiser benefiting Lighthouse Central Florida’s vision rehabilitation services and programs. The virtual WalkFest encouraged participants to walk around their neighborhoods, on their treadmills or the location of their choice to raise funds and awareness for 30 days. Since 1976, Lighthouse Central Florida has provided education, independent life skills, and job training and placement to more than 100,000 people with sight impairment and their families. The organization is the only nationally accredited nonprofit offering a comprehensive range of vision-specific rehabilitation services in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. Lighthouse ensures that individuals of all backgrounds have the tools they need to lead productive, independent lives, while pursuing their dreams and goals without limitations.
