SCHEDULE AND ITINERARY CHANGE

Join us February 14-18, 2025, for a Fundraising Cruise!

Someone chartered our original ship – the Joy – the WHOLE SHIP! So we had to find a new schedule and itinerary. Now, our fundraising cruise will be on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Jewel ship. Dave Steele, The Blind Poet, will still join us as our special guest and share his poetry and journey with blindness.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, MLV Foundation’s mission is to connect the visually impaired and blind to enhance lives, encourage independence, and expand awareness in the four-state region of Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas (MOKA).

In the four-state region, there are over 400,000 visually impaired and/or blind. The blind and visually impaired often find themselves isolated. MLV Foundation Inc hopes to help meet the social and emotional needs of this underserved population and to help give them purpose and flourish. We will strive to be independently funded and be great stewards of what we are blessed with.

We are a 100% volunteer-run organization supported via donations and fundraisers with a board of directors comprised of blind/visually impaired people and sighted alike.
