Please join us in congratulating Friedman Place Resident Tina and her new guide dog Cassidy. The pair recently graduated guide dog training together and returned home from California just in time to enjoy walks in the lovely Chicago spring weather.
Friedman Place announces its first annual Giving Tree for its 85 adult residents who are blind or visually impaired. All residents are either in poverty or have very low income and most residents have, on average, 5 health concerns other than blindness. Your gift would mean so much to them at this time of year.
Celebrating the Arts at Friedman Place was a resounding success! Thank you to all of the artists who contributed their art work for display and to everyone who came out to celebrate opening night with us on Tuesday, October 16!
Friedman Place is participating in “Lighthouses on The Mag Mile,” a citywide free public art exhibition celebrating the call to action for access and inclusion for people with disabilities.
Friedman Place offers a wide variety of activities and outings for our residents all year round, but Summer is always busiest as there are so many opportunities for outdoor fun!
On Sunday, June 3, Friedman Place held our first Dining in the Dark Experience Event. Over 50 guests had the unique experience of being blindfolded and led into our Dining Room by sighted guides.
Susie was born prematurely resulting in blindness. She has thrived in life as a tutor, volunteer, and Joan Jett fan.
Our lighthouse will be on display at 430 North Michigan Avenue from June 19 - August 11. Come check it out!
