The image is a flyer for "White Cane Day," an event related to raising awareness about blind and visually impaired individuals.

The flyer has a light beige border with a muted greenish background in the middle. At the top are logos of two organizations:
1. ADRS - Vocational Rehabilitation Blind and Deaf Services
2. AIDB - Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind, with the tagline "Deaf, Blind, Limitless."

The main text on the flyer is in large, bold letters and reads:

"WHITE CANE DAY"

Below "White Cane," there is a graphic of a pedestrian crossing zebra stripes with a simplified figure of a person walking with a white cane diagonally across the crossing.

On the left side, there's a starburst shape with the words "LUNCH PROVIDED" in capital letters.

On the right side, another starburst contains the words "WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU."

At the bottom left, the date and time of the event are given:
"OCTOBER 15, 2026
11:00AM - 1:00PM"

At the bottom right, the location details are listed:
