Alphapointe Wins Gold Philly Award for Video

Byalphapointe Posted on

Alphapointe has won a Gold Philly Award from Nonprofit Connect. The honor celebrates excellence in nonprofit communications and recognizes Alphapointe’s moving video, “Thoughts of a Blind Man.”

The video offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective, sharing how a blind man envisions the world—not as it is but as it should be.

The work was made possible through a partnership between Alphapointe, Nuance, and Outrider.

The Gold Philly Award highlights Alphapointe’s ongoing commitment to advocating for the blind and visually impaired, using innovation and creativity to make a lasting impact.
