How You Can Make An Impact

4th Annual Braille Trail Walk for Independence
Saturday, October 3, 2026 | 9:00 AM

Join us for the Braille Trail Walk supporting Lions Services, a Charlotte nonprofit empowering blind and low vision adults. Walk 2 miles on the Charlotte Braille Trail at Lions Services or join virtually from anywhere! Participants of all abilities are welcome. Volunteer walking guides will be available.

Our Cause: As Charlotte grows, we are ensuring it grows inclusively. Our impact is measured by barriers removed: when a career path is open, when healthcare is equitable, and when technology is a bridge rather than a divide. By engineering this new reality today, we are protecting the independence and opportunity of the thousands of North Carolinians facing vision loss tomorrow. Your support creates greater inclusion for people who are blind or low vision. 100% of proceeds support our programs.

Every step and dollar makes a difference!

What is the Braille Trail Walk?

The Braille Trail Walk is a signature fundraiser for Lions Services, a nonprofit empowering the blind and low vision community for over 90 years through employment, assistive technology training, and wellness programs, including the newly built Charlotte Braille Trail.

The 2K Walk is a fun, inclusive event for all participants of all abilities! This walk brings the community together in a powerful way. We're especially excited that this year's event will take place on the newly built Charlotte Braille Trail and will feature an after-walk celebration with music, food, and so much more!
