Each year the BAVF sponsors a special project to support the Visual Impairment Services Team (VIST) programs by providing grants. The Non Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA) National Defense Foundation had joined BAVF to sponsor its Annual Financial Grant Program. Fifty one (51) Grants valued at $500 each had been provided to be used to support VIST programs. Click here to see the list of the year 2007 recipients.

Some pictures from our year 2007 Flag Day Congressional Awards Reception are now online.
