The Ogden Association of the Blind has served our community for nearly 80 years.  This 501 (c)(3) tax exempt organization provides support, information, and services to adults who have lost their sight or are losing their sight because of diseases such as macular degeneration, type II diabetes, glaucoma, or other causes.  The OAB needs our help now to support its fundraising event to be held March 10, 2017 at Union Station.  Your tax deductible donation will be acknowledged through receipt and can be made in ways as suggested below.

  • Cash donation – This could be a simple donation, purchase of tickets, or sponsoring some portion of event expenses such as printing and advertising, food, etc.
  • Items for a live professionally called auction – Electronics, appliances, furniture, services, and special handmade items such as quilts, paintings, wood carvings, ceramics, etc. 
  • Items for silent auctions baskets -- coupons, gift cards, t-shirts, posters, flashlights, small tools, CD’s candy, etc.
  • Items for “swag bags” -- OAB is planning for 120 people for the plate dinner. Each ticketed attendee will receive a bag with small items such as pencils, key chains, book marks, note pads etc.
