New USABA Promotional DVD Available

The United States Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) has created a promotional DVD which can now be viewed on our website. The 5 minute DVD, produced by Mammoth Media is an informational feature which illustrates the story behind the USABA organization and promotes the abilities of people who are blind and visually impaired.

“The USABA board and staff are extremely excited to provide a DVD that highlights the abilities and accomplishments of athletes who are blind and visually impaired,” said Mark Lucas, Executive Director. Lucas also said “We are creating a 3-year marketing plan that targets key constituent groups such as the American Optometric Association, parents, teachers, adapted physical education teachers, rehabilitation counselors, community based programs and other agencies serving people who are blind and visually impaired, which will increase awareness of the numerous sport opportunities.”

For a copy of the DVD contact USABA at (719) 630-0422 or media@usaba.org. There is no fee to receive a copy of the DVD; however a donation of $10 is suggested to assist USABA’s efforts in supporting athletes.
