Perkins School for the Blind

Our newest non-profit is the Perkins School for the Blind, which was founded in 1829 and was the nation’s first school for the visually impaired.

Perkins students created the three card designs by cutting textured fabrics into holiday shapes. The cards also include the artists' comments about their designs. Here are 12-year-old Rose Ellen Moynihan’s thoughts about the snowflakes she created: “Snowflakes are frosty covered rain. They are quiet, different, and very pretty.”

Eight-five percent of the card price is used to support Perkins' educational programs.
