The C-Different Foundation works to create opportunity for visually impared athletes to participate in athletic events. CDF also seeks out other types of opportunties for our athletes to share their message. We promote total integration — not separateness — for blind and visually impaired athletes for the benefit of society in all countries worldwide.
