Description

BSO Participants BSO’s athletes are the reason for the existence of the organization. They range in age from 7 to over 70. Our athletes range from those who are totally blind to those who have a visual acuity of 20/70, or they have a visual field of 20º or less. Some participate for recreation and socialization, others aim for world-class competition. BSO Volunteers BSO’s volunteers are the backbone of the organization. They include sorority members, parents, friends of blind athletes, sports enthusiasts, adapted PE students, administrators, and anyone who wishes to help. There are many tasks that appeal to a variety of talents. We are always looking for board members, coaches/program leaders, helpers, officials, drivers, fundraisers, grant writers. No experience is necessary as we will train you. BSO's Leadership Since the organization’s founding in 1974, BSO has been run by volunteers, several of whom have dedicated more than 40 hours per week, and many who have been involved for years. Our Location We do not have a permanent facility, but we use donated or rented space for all of our activities including: Overbrook School for the Blind gymnasium Philadelphia Dept. of Recreation - Hayes Playground Variety Club Camp and other facilities within the Delaware Valley
