About Us

Running Blind was founded by Hal Wolff of Ypsilanti Michigan (formerly Hal Wolfe) in 2012 and incorporated as a 501c3 in 2014. Hal has been active in track & field as a runner and event planner most of his adult life and also worked with visually impaired youth for over a decade (largely through the Michigan Blind Athletic Association) before starting Running Blind. He decided to formalize his efforts and form a non-profit group to try to expand on the service work that he has found to be some of the most gratifying work of his life.

Running Blind will also provide support to other non-profit and for-profit businesses that support this purpose. This support can take the form of direct support in the form of goods, money or services provided to disabled individuals. Support can also be rendered in the form of services or donations provided to other 501(c)(3) organizations, or with the lending of assets or investment in for-profit businesses that suitably support this purpose, with the expectation of a reasonable monetary return on any such disbursed assets.
