Spenser Heaps, Deseret News

Cameron Evans laughs as he holds a box containing some of the white canes he donated to the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind in Salt Lake City on Thursday. Evans, 17, organized the donation of 71 white canes as well as assorted games and educational products as part of his Eagle Scout project. Evans, a senior at Cyprus High School in Magna, collected enough donations to purchase the canes. He then worked with Amazon gift registry and was able to purchase canes through Ambutech at a discounted price with the donated funds. Evans attended the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind when he was younger. Once he learned orientation and mobility, braille and other important skills for the blind, he was able to attend neighborhood school.
