Summer Reading Book 

The Braille Group of Buffalo is once again offering a summer reading book to each of our Western New York students in grades K-12. We will be accepting requests until June 15. The student must reside in a zip code starting with 14***. Please select a book from our book list at our web site. 

National Diabetes Material Project

Each Braille reader who is Diabetic or caring for someone with Diabetes, may choose 3 selections from our brailled Diabetes collection. We request a donation equal to the print copy. (eg:  for a cookbook of Diabetes recipes that costs us over $400 to produce in Braille, we ask for a donation of less than $18.) Contact us for more information.

National Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts Project

We are currently transcribing the Boy Scout & Girl Scouts manuals and handbooks into Braille. Contact us for more information.

Western New York Scholarships

We offer scholarships to Western New York students whose main reading medium is Braille. The scholarship can be used for continuing education on the college level or vocational training.
