Welcome to the Blind
Sports Organization web page.
We are known as Blind Sports Organization (BSO). After 31 years as
the Pennsylvania Association for Blind Athletes (PABA), the Board
decided a new name was needed to better express our mission
and our regional involvement. We have also written a new
strategic plan. We have the same mission, but we have
broadened our scope to include the entire Mid-Atlantic region,
not just Pennsylvania
Mission: The Blind Sports Organization will promote, provide,
and advocate sports, recreational, and social opportunities
for blind and visually impaired.

DARRYL GREEN
Darryl was tragically killed in a hit & run accident in June a few hours after his team placed 2nd in the Goaball Nationals. Darryl, age 25, was a dedicated Goalball & Beep Baseball team member. He trained and played hard, helped younger players, and was a friend to all. His Goalball uniform number has been retired and his devotion to blind sports will live on. He will be truly missed by those who knew him.
MANY SPECIAL THANKS to all the caring people around the USA who contributed to help Darryl’s family meet funeral expenses. The outpouring of love and support was terrific and Darryl’s family really appreciated it as well as the large Goalball and BSO group that attended the funeral, some of whom spoke or sang.
To honor Darryl,
his mother and BSO have established a permanent memorial sport
fund to help provide beneficial sport opportunities for others.
To make a tax deductible donation to the Darryl Green
Memorial Sport Fund, send check or money order made payable
