Arizona Chapter

Greetings from sunny Arizona!

We are a thriving and growing chapter, dedicated to carrying on the mission of FFB and to provide community and support for individuals and families affected by inherited retinal diseases. Our annual VisionWalk is held in February and is one of the most attended across all VisionWalks. Additionally, we organize several chapter meetings a year and our annual Dining in the Dark in fall. We also have other social and networking opportunities planned for the year. Please contact us for further information and if you would like to get involved with the planning.

Monthly Networking Events

The AZ chapter hosts monthly networking gatherings the 3^rd Saturday of each month. This is an informal gathering for those living with vision loss and our friends and family who love and support us. Our goal is to build a local community of Blind and Visually Impaired people whom we can share stories, insight and friendship. We are all on our own journey, but the path is shared. Please feel free to extend this invite to anyone who may benefit from joining our local community. We look forward to gathering and getting to know you all in the future! If you would like to be added to our email list and be notified of upcoming chapter events, please contact Colin Danna at colin@dannaart.com
