Doing Good in Miami: DGs Partner with Lighthouse for the Blind
Collegiate Development Consultants Brooke Tellinger, Phi-Colorado, and Kara Graham, Beta Kappa-Kansas, recently visited the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired along with a member of Beta Tau-Miami (Florida)! The Lighthouse supports people of all ages with a focus on music and art education. The Lighthouse has recently started a soccer program for students to participate in as they prepare to help raise awareness prior to the 2028 Paralympics in LA. The sport uses adapted rules and noise-making balls to foster outdoor activity and social skill development.
The CDCs are excited to help re-establish the partnership between Beta Tau chapter and the Miami Lighthouse this upcoming year! DG members will participate in service hours to create crafts that the students at the Lighthouse can utilize such as DIY ABC Braille flip-books, tactile tote bags that students can take home with them and tactile puffy paint coloring pages. Members will also be volunteering directly at the Miami Lighthouse by playing games and assisting with the lunch service for the elderly individuals. This October, Miami Lighthouse will celebrate White Cane Day with a community walk down their street and fun festivities afterward. Beta Tau members are excited to be part of it!
"I feel truly grateful for the chance to work closely with both Beta Tau and the Miami Lighthouse. Seeing the positive impact Delta Gamma efforts have on organizations that share our values of doing good right here in the Miami community is inspiring. Even the smallest contributions, whether time, funding, or direct support, collectively make a powerful difference!"
