Bailey Bostelman

I enjoy working together with other South Carolina chapter members to connect individuals in our state who are blind or visually impaired with much needed resources, community and information on medical research advancements. It is a true pleasure to be part of this valuable community!

Chapter Events

Make a Difference Monday 

Drink Great Beer. Support a Great Cause.
Looking for the perfect way to kick off your week? Join us every single Monday this July at Tidal Creek Brewhouse for Make a Difference Monday!

We are teaming up for a month of community, fun, and giving back. Each week features a different event, so there is always something new to experience. Best of all, $1 from every beer sold between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM will be donated directly back to us.

Whether you are catching up with friends, meeting the team, or just enjoying a local brew, your happy hour will have a real impact right here in our community.

Can't make it this week? Don't worry! We will be there every Monday all month long. Grab a pint, pull up a chair, and let’s make a difference together.

We can't wait to see you there!
