CAER Fundraisers
Reusable shopping bags
Join us in a fundraiser Reusable shopping bags that read “I Read Braille What’s Your Super Power?”
Colorado’s Association for Education and Rehabilitation (CAER) of the Blind and Visually Impaired is hosting a fundraiser. We will use for Mini Grants for members to support their clients or educational needs. We are selling reusable bags in blue with the words “I Read Braille What’s Your Superpower?” written on them in a cream color, with the same saying written in Braille beneath the words. The Braille is in gold and all the writing is outlined by a rectangle in the same gold color.
Bags sell for $12.00 each and shipping for each bag is $3.00. Bulk purchases are possible. Reach out to Michelle R. at 559-907-8177, Venmo to CAER is possible.
Funds raised are used for grants to support the local community with and serving vision loss. We also host an awards banquet and offer discounted memberships.
The bag dimensions are 13” x 9.75” with a 10” gusseted bottom with insert. The handles are 20”.
