Easter Egg Hunt for the Visually Impaired

The Dallas Junior Chamber of Commerce 9th Annual Easter Egg Hunt for the Visually Impaired will be March 28, 2009 from 9:00am to noon at White Rock Lake’s Tee Pee Hill (3240 West Lawther, Dallas). The Easter Egg Hunt is one of the DJCC’s signature philanthropic events. This extraordinary, emotional event allows visually impaired children to hunt for specially designed beeping eggs. With the assistance of DJCC volunteers, visually impaired children and their sighted siblings, cousins, and family friends are invited to participate in the egg hunts and other fun activities scheduled for the morning. Besides the egg hunts, there will be games, pinatas, face painting, and clowns. Also, there will be a special visit from the Easter Bunny! Breakfast will be served.

This event is important to the DJCC because it benefits the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). DARS assists blind or visually impaired individuals and their families. Depending upon their goals and needs, DARS offers services to help the visually impaired regain independence, find a job, or live independently. They also help children receive the training needed to be successful in school and beyond.

Volunteers for the day should arrive at Tee Pee Hill at 8:00am.  For questions or other way to help, check the Easter Egg Hunt page of the DJCC web site at http://www.djcc.us/easter-egg-hunt/ or contact co-chairs Cesar and Jessica at egghunt@djcc.us.
