Community Grace
Community Imprints is excited to partner with Blind Grace. This new collaboration will be called Community Grace. This unique clothing line will feature a large smiley face with "be the reason someone smiles today" around it with affirmations on either the sleeve or front chest. We both believe that spreading joy and kindness through our walks in life is so important. Raised funds will be used for scholarship opportunities for visually impaired students who are completing high-school and taking next steps for college or work. We plan to expand the scholarships for younger students who are actively inspiring others in their daily lives.
Dining in the Dark
Dining in the Dark will be held on October 4, 2025 at the Marriot in Baton Rouge. The SWAT team will be back again this year!
Check back for event details soon!
Blind Grace Merch
By purchasing Blind Grace merchandise, you are also helping to raise awareness about the visually impaired community. Each time you use or wear our products, you are spreading the word about the importance of inclusivity and accessibility. This, in turn, can help to break down barriers and promote greater understanding and empathy for those who are visually challenged.
Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of people who are visually impaired. So, join us today in supporting Blind Grace and help us to create a more inclusive and accessible world for all.
