Today is White Cane Awareness Day celebrated on October 15! In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson established October 15 as White Cane Safety Day to raise awareness of people who carry a white cane For people who are blind and visually impaired, the white cane is an essential tool that gives the ability to achieve a full and independent life. It allows individuals to move freely and safely from place to place—whether it's at work, at school, or around their neighborhoods. This year Lions Services celebrated White Cane Day on Thursday October 10, 2024, at Triple C Brewing Company with the launch of the Tap Tap C Beer featuring the red and white cane and braille on the can. The beer is available the entire month of October at Triple C Brewing Company. Photos of the event coming soon!
