A centerpiece of the campaign is the new online community, Solutionsinsight.   Launching on January 21, 2010, the site will serve as a virtual gathering place for people interested in vision-related topics. They will be able to connect with others and share their personal experiences, find volunteer opportunities and become a part of a true online community of people dedicated to helping visually impaired people live fulfilling lives.

As the campaign gets under way, hundreds of Braille Institute volunteers are preparing to join in coordinated outreach efforts in communities across Southern California, providing tips, practical resources, and information about the many free classes, programs and services being offered at Braille Institute's five regional centers and numerous community locations. The first lifestyle themes to be addressed by the campaign are "Kitchen Confidence" and "Getting Around Town." Both will be highlighted by special events and programs supported by such community partners as the American Diabetes Association, Gelson's Markets, Bristol Farms, the Automobile Association of Southern California, the California Highway Patrol, and others.
