From awareness
to
action.
Two Blind Brothers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to spreading awareness, educating the public, and supporting the blind and low vision community.
Brad and Bryan Manning were both diagnosed with Stargardt disease at age seven and built Two Blind Brothers from the way they actually experience the world by touch, on trust. More than $3 million raised. 600,000 people in the Shop Blind Challenge. Ellen to NBC. In 2025 they became a registered 501(c)(3) because awareness was never the end goal. Thrive Blind is.
What started as two blind brothers and a simple question — will you shop blind? — became a movement. 600,000+ supporters, landmark partnerships, and work alongside organizations like the Foundation Fighting Blindness. This moment was presented at the Night for Sight, an evening we had the honor of presenting, marking ten years since Two Blind Brothers was born.
Three Pillars. One Mission.
A decade in, we're going further — beyond e-commerce and beyond awareness, into real, lasting change for the blind and low-vision community.
Our partnerships in action
L'AMY America Eyewear
Through our eyewear partnership, our mission is shared across approximately 2,000+ optometrist clinics nationwide.
PUMA
Our collaboration with PUMA put accessibility at the center of elite sport. Working together on the French Blind Football Team’s kit, we introduced tactile, braille-inspired design elements that celebrate instinct, skill, and independence.
Dogs Inc Shop Blind Challenge
Our collaboration with Dogs Inc combines education and impact through a dedicated Shop Blind Challenge experience. Together, we invite participants to learn about guide dog training, etiquette, and the powerful role these dogs play in supporting independence, while directly helping fund Dogs Inc’s mission.
Shopify Shop Blind Event
In collaboration with Shopify, Two Blind Brothers hosted a live Shop Blind Event that challenged participants to shop without visual cues. The immersive experience helped attendees better understand accessibility barriers while learning directly about blindness, inclusion, and the impact of thoughtful design.
