The WCD logo features an illustration of the Golden Gate Bridge with white canes with varying cane tips holding up the bridge. There are clouds on either side of the bridge and between the two towers are the words "WHITE CANE DAY.” The bridge is orange, the clouds are blue, and the canes and font are in white.

Our White Cane Day march across the Golden Gate Bridge is this Saturday, October 5! We are so excited to welcome a historic number of participants to this year’s celebration. Due to a high number of participants, limited shuttle space and LightHouse provided lunches, registration for shuttle services and picnic lunch is closed. However, if you are able to provide your own transportation and snacks, you may still join us in the Golden Gate Bridge march and Chrissy Field after-party! The march begins promptly at 10:00 am at the Marin Vista Point— see you then!

Can’t Attend? You Can Still Participate

 
For those of you unable to attend the White Cane Day march in person on October 5, you can still virtually participate in our social media campaign. Whether you are unable to make the 1.7-mile journey, or if you are out of the area, LightHouse is encouraging our community to either:

  • Do an activity that best accommodates your physical abilities
  • Walk across another bridge local to you

Then, snap a photo of yourself or your group doing the above activity and post it on social media using the hashtag #WCD2024. And don’t forget to tag LightHouse using the handle: @lighthouse_sf. We aim to spread awareness, encourage inclusion, and to educate and disprove misconceptions of blindness. Together, we can bridge the gap between the sighted and BVI communities!

Make a Community Impact with You Cane Give

 
Every cane user has that collection of old, out-of-use or broken canes, so let’s put them to good use! We are excited to once again be partnering with You Cane Give to collect used and broken canes to be repaired, repurposed, and redistributed to in-need blind folks around the world. To donate your cane, bring it with you on the day of our march across the bridge or drop it off in the designated bin at LightHouse reception anytime between now and the end of October. Learn more about You Cane Give.

We look forward to another excellent White Cane Day! Be on the lookout for more info coming your way.
