Happy International Guide Dog Day! 🦮

The Carroll Center for the Blind is celebrating and raising awareness of the incredible work of guide dogs and the people who rely on them.

Guide dogs are more than just trained service animals. They are sweet, highly trained companions who help their handlers navigate the world safely and confidently. The bond they share is life-changing and provides a greater sense of independence. At the Carroll Center for the Blind, we work every day to help individuals who are blind or visually impaired build that same independence and confidence through the skills and support we provide. 💙

‼️SOLD OUT‼️

Super Bowl is one week away. Whether you’re watching for the Patriots (or… the Seahawks), Bad Bunny, or the commercials, we’ve got a fun way to make every point count.

$10 gets you a Super Bowl Care Square and the chance to support one of 15 local nonprofits. Stick with one charity or spread your squares across a few — your game plan, your call.

Once all the squares are sold, we’ll randomly place them on the board and post a photo of the completed board, with the Patriots across the top in red and the Seahawks down the side in blue. The numbers 0–9 will be shuffled and placed once along the top and once down the side.

At the end of each quarter, we take the last digit of each team’s score, line them up on the board, and boom — the charity in that square wins $250. One nonprofit could take home $1,000 if they land on all four winning squares.

Example:
If the score is Patriots 24 and Seahawks 17, that’s a 4 and a 7. The square where those numbers meet takes the prize.

The following local nonprofits were chosen based on community input:

The Academy of Performing Arts
Behavioral Health Innovators
Cape Abilities
Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center
Carrie A. Seaman Shelter
Chatham Conservation Foundation
Chatham-Nauset Lions Club
Friends of the Brewster Dog Park
Friends of the Eastham Public Library
Homeless Prevention Council
Lower Cape Outreach Council
Sharing Kindness
Sight Loss Services
Sustainable Cape
Wild Care – Cape Cod

Quick checkout tip:
You’ll see an optional contribution to support Zeffy, the secure nonprofit fundraising platform we use. That contribution goes directly to Zeffy, not to us. If you’d rather skip it, just choose “Other” and enter $0 — we truly will not be offended (and we’d never even know).

Big thanks to the West Bridgewater Lions Club and Jerry Lawrence for the inspiration behind this fundraiser.

Some blind and low-vision fans will have unprecedented access to the Super Bowl thanks to a tactile device that tracks the ball, vibrates on key plays and provides real-time audio.
