The Lackawanna Blind Association's Swing for Sight Golf Tournament is an annual fundraising event aimed at supporting the organization's vital services for individuals with vision impairments.
The tournament features a day of golf, raffles, contests, and an awards ceremony, offering participants a fun and engaging way to contribute to a meaningful cause. One of the day's highlights is the Blind Putting Contest, an engaging activity where golfers putt while blindfolded, offering them a unique insight into the challenges faced by the blind and visually impaired.
The proceeds from the event directly benefit the Lackawanna Blind Association, helping fund programs such as mobility training, low vision aids, support groups, and case management services, all designed to empower individuals with vision impairments to live independently and improve their quality of life.
