Bringing Print to Life
Fundraising Hike
AINC’s mission is to empower individuals to be self-sufficient, connected to the community, and continuously learning, and what better way to support us than connecting our listeners to the great Colorado outdoors. Registration is open to anyone, and thanks to generous donors and grants, AINC will be providing this experience for FREE to print impaired Coloradoans.
On August 28th AINC's Team, the AINC Audio Trekkers, invites you to join our team of 10 hikers who are blind/visually impaired and 10 sighted guides.
