Penrickton Center for Blind Children

“We were thrilled to be part of the Art Van award to celebrate their 50th anniversary!  The children at Penrickton Center for Blind Children have benefited from the grant for Occupational Therapy by reaching new steps of independence in their quest for independence in eating, dressing and bathing! They can shout together with their parents through the generosity of Art Van “YES, I CAN!”” 

–Kurt M. Sebaly, Executive Director, Penrickton Center for Blind Children.
