The Walk For Sight is today in Downtown Concord!

 

Future In Sight relies on the funds raised during the Walk For Sight to further its mission of advancing the independence of children, adults and elderly who are blind and visually impaired.

The Walk For Sight consists of a 1-mile loop through Downtown Concord, starting and ending at the NH State House. We’ll also have a DJ, the Guiding Eyes puppy kissing booth, and fun photo opportunities!

 

Pre-registration is now closed but you can still donate, purchase 50/50 tickets, or register on-site. On-site registrations will not receive a drawstring bag.

Due to popular demand, the deadline has been extended! We will now conduct the drawing for the 50/50 raffle on WEDNESDAY, MAY 20th on Facebook Live and notify the winner via email. You do not have to attend the Walk For Sight to participate so anyone from anywhere is welcome to purchase tickets.

PARKING

There are many on-street parking spaces and public garages available downtown, however the Farmer’s Market and Northeast Coffee Festival will also be occurring so give yourself extra time to find a space. Parking meters in the City of Concord are enforced from 9AM-7PM on Saturdays. On-street meter rates are only $1/hour. Parking is FREE in the City’s garages on Saturdays.

 

FOOD

Everyone who pre-registers will receive a granola bar and a bottle of water; plan for any nourishment you need beyond that. The event usually wraps up around noon – just in time for you to head out to lunch with your fellow walkers and enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

 

TEAM SPIRIT

At the event, teams are encouraged to show their team spirit with unified attire. Consider matching t-shirts, a color scheme and/or accessories to make your team stand out!

 

PET POLICY

Regarding our 4-legged friends, we ask that you consider what is safest for you and your dog. Given the population we serve there will be a larger than normal gathering of guide/service dogs at the Walk. In addition, many of the Walkers that do not have dogs with them will be blind or visually impaired. Lastly, the general public (and their 4-legged friends) will be in the mix as well whether going to the Farmer’s Market, the Northeast Coffee Festival, or visiting one of the many businesses downtown. To ensure everyone’s (human and dog) safety we ask that you use your best judgment when making this decision.

Please bring relief bags for your dog.

 

Thank you to everyone who has brought us 84% to our goal. There is still time to donate and buy 50/50 tickets, so let’s make the most of the home stretch!
