MaxiAids Products for Independent Living Holds Web-A-Thon to Benefit Perkins School for the Blind

    FARMINGDALE, NY, December 03, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MaxiAids Products for Independent Living today announced that in their continuing efforts to help those in the visually impaired community, they will be holding a 24-Hour Web-A-Thon to benefit the Perkins School for the Blind, the oldest and one of the most prominent schools for the blind in the United States. MaxiAids has committed to donate to the Perkins School a portion of the proceeds of web purchases made all day long (from 12:00am to 11:59pm) on Thursday, December 3.

This is a great opportunity for MaxiAids and its many loyal customers to team up and contribute to a truly worthy cause. Since its founding over 175 years ago as the first school for the blind in the United States, the Perkins School has been educating the blind and deafblind. Among its long list of former students are Laura Bridgman, the first known deafblind person to be educated, and Helen Keller.

MaxiAids is the industry-leading supplier of products for independent living. Under the leadership of president and founder Elliot Zaretsky, they have brought numerous products for the blind and visually impaired to market, including the Click-Pocket Money Brailler (an easy, inexpensive tool to mark paper currency for easy identification) and the Marks Script Guide (which helps users write more easily.)

With the Web-A-Thon, MaxiAids and their customers have a chance to give back to an organization that has given so much to so many people. So go to MaxiAids Products for Independent Living to start shopping now. And remember that with every web purchase you make on Thursday, December 3, you are helping Perkins School for the Blind.
