GDABVI Announcement

Support our summer camp for children with severe vision loss
and have your gift matched dollar-for-dollar

The Greater Detroit Agency for the Blind and Visually Impaired Summer Enrichment Camp helps children with severe vision loss to develop into successful, independent adults. Your donation will allow us to obtain materials such as specialized recreation equipment and independent living kits, as well as help us keep up with the rising cost of transportation. This important program gives children who are blind and visually impaired the opportunity to explore the community while also exploring their own potential.



Please act quickly so your gift can be matched!
Our goal is $21,500 and the Detroit Free Press and Skillman Foundation will match individual donations up to $1,500 – that means a gift of $100 will be matched with an additional $100 towards our goal. Matching funds are limited, so please act as soon as possible!

You can donate one of two ways:

1) Print the Summer Dreams donation form and fill it out.
Make a check payable to CHILDREN FIRST with GDABVI in the memo line, and kindly mail your check along with the form to:

2) Go to the Detroit Free Press Summer Dreams page at
PLEASE BE SURE TO DESIGNATE YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO GDABVI.

Thank you for supporting this very important program aimed at improving the lives of our wonderful young people.
