2025 State Convention Exhibitors & Sponsors

The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey (NFBNJ) proudly thanks the generous sponsors of our 49th Annual State Convention, “Live the Life You Want; Building Champions.” Their support makes this event possible and sustains programs in education, technology, advocacy, and leadership that empower blind New Jerseyans to live the lives they choose. We are deeply grateful to these partners for standing with us in building champions and strengthening the blind community across New Jersey.

We gratefully acknowledge the following sponsors of the 49th Annual NFBNJ State Convention:

Champion Sponsors:

  • David I. Mizrahi, Esq.
    Licensed in New Jersey and New York since 2023, represent clients in website accessibility matters. Drawing on experience in the field since 2018, he combines experience and passion to fight for equal access online and serves as a go-to resource for legal guidance.
  • The Degenshein Family
    Question: Why do my husband and I annually donate to the NFBNJ?
    Our answer: Beyond fellowship, all NFBNJ members are provided the tools to become more independent and self-sufficient. The biblical parable “teach a man to fish” is central to the organization's mission... albeit using 21st century fishing rods: iPhones, Siri, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Just fabulous what the NFBNJ does for us all. As the Ruffalo/Degenshein motto is NFBNJ=Never Felt Better No Joke!
  • NaviLens
    NaviLens is an award-winning accessibility technology developed in Spain, designed to help blind and low-vision people navigate spaces independently. Using high-contrast matrix codes that can be scanned from a distance and without focusing, NaviLens instantly delivers information in audio, text, and up to 40 languages, making environments more inclusive for everyone.
    Join us for a focus group hosted on the final morning of the convention, Sunday, 9:30 AM, right after breakfast. This session will be an open conversation with attendees to share their experiences using NaviLens during the event. Your feedback is invaluable in helping to improve the product.
  • Robert Wood Johnson Foundation President’s Grant Fund of the Princeton Area Community Foundation
  • Rogue State Games
    Rogue State Games is a store in Mahwah, New Jersey that sells and provides a place to play a variety of games, including miniature games, card games, and board games. We strive to make people feel comfortable, warm, and included. Customers of all kinds are welcome into our community, as we offer a social environment, gaming entertainment, and fun as our business. We have a further commitment to charitable organizations such as the National Federation of the Blind of NJ, combining our people and resources in supporting good and worthy causes.
