SWFCB serves citizens of Lee County who are blind or visually impaired through education, advocacy and mentoring.
October 24th will mark 6 months since the passing of Michael Pierce. Michael had been a beloved member of the SWFCB for the past 6 years. Michael worked tirelessly as an advocate for those with all kinds of disabilities. Michael being totally blind himself faced many challenges. He understood the importance of advocacy. He leaves behind a small family including his beloved guide dog Addy. Yet, he leaves behind a large community of those that loved him and relied on his advocacy every day. He was a teacher, a mentor, and a friend. No one ever walked away from a conversation with Mike without learning something, He was an avid music lover and a great music historian. The Beatles were his favorite. He is sorely missed and the world is a lesser place without him.
