Last Night, Miami Lighthouse for the Blind President & CEO Virginia Jacko joined community leaders at the Griffin Catalyst VIP Dinner, hosted by @FWC26Miami, accompanied by @NSUFlorida Professor and Chair François Sainfort, PhD.

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Miami Host Committee supports our Miami Lighthouse Blind Soccer program, which first launched in 2025 with funding from a @childrenstrust Innovation Grant. With the support of our community, we started with the first and only blind soccer curriculum for early learners ages 1 to 4, and kept growing! Today, we celebrate teaching the skills of blind soccer to over 100 children and young adults. 👏⚽

Together, we prove it's possible to see without sight!™ 💙 #MiamiLighthouse #BlindSoccer
