The ACB (American Council of the Blind) Angels Memorial Tribute Program is a powerful and personal way to honor departed loved ones or their guide dog(s). It provides an opportunity to memorialize friends and loved ones while supporting ACB. With a minimum donation of $500, you can ensure that your loved one's legacy lives on through the ACB Angel Memorial Wall and the Angels page of the ACB website. Donations can also be made in remembrance of guide dogs.
This memorial began in 2014 with the Angels Wall, a traveling tribute displayed annually at the ACB national conference and convention. The wall features plaques in both large print and braille, honoring the contributions of each Angel. A bound companion book shares names and memories in braille and large print.
Your ACB Angel's name will become the title of a dedicated tribute webpage, easily identified through search engines like Google and Bing. Each page will feature a photo and a written testimony, ensuring that your Angel’s memory lives on within the ACB family. What a wonderful way to honor those who matter most while supporting the American Council of the Blind!
The process for making your loved one an ACB Angel is simple.
Please contact ACB Development Officer, Kolby Garrison, at [email protected] with the following information:
- Your loved one’s full name as you want it to appear on the plaque.
- A photo, if desired.
- A written testimonial of your Angel’s life and impact.
Contributions in any amount can be made by individuals or a group toward the $500 minimum donation. Please contact the ACB Financial Office at 612-332-3242 for assistance with making your gift.
To have your Angel included in the presentations during our annual national convention, please submit all materials by May 1st. You will be offered the opportunity to record a video testimonial honoring your Angel.
