Andover’s Frank Haley Receives Service Award

By Lauretta Phillips

New Hampshire’s Future In Sight, formerly New Hampshire Association of the Blind, paid tribute to Frank Haley for his continued support and service by presenting him with the Jo Adcock Service Award at their annual dinner.


The Jo Adcock Service Award is presented each year to a volunteer who has proven leadership skills, provides outstanding service and commitment to the field of blindness and who has been volunteering for at least five years.


Frank’s dedication to the Future in Sight programs over the years and his determination to help provide assistance to the other people in New Hampshire with vision impairment has helped him to become the top individual fundraiser for the state. Frank and his wife, Anne Haley, have collected over $86,000 in donations for the annual 5k walk-a-thon over the past 15 years.  Frank says it is because of the generosity of the people he goes to see that he is able to do this and he wishes to thank them all. Each one helps make a difference, from the ones who give a dollar or two to the ones who can donate a hundred or more, the donations all add up to help provide services for the community.

 

Whether you have lived with a visual impairment for most of your life or are just receiving a diagnosis of uncorrectable vision loss, Future In Sight’s low vision programs and services can make a significant difference in your day-to-day life. Since their name change to Future In Sight, a 501c3 organization, nearly a year ago, has continued to strengthen and expand their education programs, occupational therapy services, adaptive technology training, and recreational activities for both children and seniors. They also provide educational services, adaptive technology service, volunteer services and public education.
