SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE

Honouring Mr. Donald K. Biberdorf,

Chair of CNIB Albertas Divisional Board and
advocate for the blind and partially-sighted.

or the 10,000 Albertans who access our

programs and services each year, CNIB
is much more than a charitable organization
or a worthy cause its a pathway to a life of
independence, confidence, and participation.
As one of CNIBs premier annual fundraisers,
Visions 2015 contributes significantly to our mission
of providing quality rehabilitation support, raising
public awareness, and engaging in world-class
research all with the goal of helping our clients
see beyond vision loss.
With your support, a child who is blind can walk
through a classroom with more confidence, a mother
with partial sight can secure a career to provide
for her family, or a senior citizen with age-related
vision loss is able to live more independently.
