All proceeds will support Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service, a 24/7 nonprofit radio station whose team of volunteers read nearly 80 national and local newspapers, magazines, and best-selling books for our neighbors across the western half of New York State who are blind or living with another vision, mobility, or learning disability that makes reading a challenge, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, Parkinson’s disease, paralysis, brain or spinal injury, muscular dystrophy, dyslexia, or autism. We do this to help ensure everyone has equal access to the news and knowledge they need to live and thrive as informed, engaged, and independent members of their community.
