Thank you Bank of America Brian Angle Carrie Ehinger Jennifer Chandler Darcy Barnes Dan Peril for coming to tour our new Envision Dallas location and for your continuous support of our mission!
Blake Lindsay from Envision Dallas is truly inspiring, showcasing a remarkable vision on life despite being blind since birth. He shares his incredible journey in the book "Overcoming Obstacles," a testament to his resilience and determination. I had the privilege of witnessing the impact of partnership between Envision Dallas and Bank of America, thanks to Shawn Lancelot's introduction. The recent expansion to the City of Farmers Branch, Texas, marked a significant milestone. The new building, featuring an art room, child care facility, call center, and cafeteria, promises not just jobs but a hub of opportunities. The tour of the completed building surpassed all expectations, with plans to create hundreds of jobs. As they say, "If you build it, they will come." Envision Dallas has built a remarkable space ready to take on various roles, from manufacturing supplies to call center services like those for 311 in Dallas. Special thanks to Larissa Roman for guiding the tour and to Brian Angle, Carrie Ehinger, Daniela Melendez, and Wendy Morales for their support. Their generous contribution from the Bank of America Foundation further fuels Envision Dallas's mission to make a difference. #Community #philanthropy
