4th Annual Braille Trail Walk for Independence

The very first walk on the brand new Charlotte Braille Trail.

Join us for something truly special at our 4th Annual Braille Trail Walk — the very first walk on the brand new Charlotte Braille Trail! Join us in supporting Lions Services, a Charlotte nonprofit empowering individuals who are blind or low vision, as we take a scenic 2-mile journey filled with tactile art sculptures, vibrant murals, and a beautiful community garden.

Whether you walk in person or participate virtually from anywhere, this is your moment to be part of something meaningful. Participants of all abilities are welcome. Don't miss your chance to explore, connect, and make a difference!

Our Cause

As Charlotte grows, we are ensuring it grows inclusively. Our impact is measured by barriers removed: when a career path is open, when healthcare is equitable, and when technology is a bridge rather than a divide. By engineering this new reality today, we are protecting the independence and opportunity of the thousands of North Carolinians facing vision loss tomorrow. Your support creates greater inclusion for people who are blind or low vision. 100% of proceeds support our programs. Every step and dollar makes a difference!
