Collaboration will expand sports opportunities for athletes who are blind or visually impaired across New York City
New York, NY — November 25, 2025 — Lighthouse Guild, a blind-led New York City based nonprofit with more than 120 years of service to the blind and low vision community, today announced a new partnership with STIG, a national leader in Cybersecurity and Managed IT Solutions, which has committed to becoming the organization’s 2026 sponsor for Adaptive Athletics. This collaboration will support Lighthouse Guild’s own adaptive sports programming – which includes blind baseball, goalball, running, cycling, and youth athletic initiatives – as well as its expanding relationship with New York City’s professional sports.
STIG’s substantial leadership gift will help scale the reach and impact of Adaptive Athletics for people who are blind or visually impaired, providing greater access to coaching, equipment, training, and competitive opportunities throughout the year.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Lighthouse Guild to champion adaptive athletics in New York,” said Nick Auletta, CEO of STIG. “We believe deeply in creating opportunities that empower people to push past barriers, build confidence, and experience the joy of sport. Lighthouse Guild’s vision aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re proud to support the next generation of athletes who are blind or visually impaired.”
Lighthouse Guild’s Adaptive Athletics initiative has grown in recent years. In addition to supporting the Lighthouse Guild Lightning blind baseball team, the organization runs clinics, youth programs, and community events that help athletes of all ages build physical strength, independence, and a sense of belonging.
“This partnership represents a powerful moment for our athletes and our community,” said Kiana Glanton, Development and Special Projects Manager at Lighthouse Guild and an adaptive athlete herself. “Sports have been transformative in my own life as a blind athlete — they build confidence, resilience, and connection. STIG’s support will allow even more people to experience that same empowerment. We’re thrilled to work together to expand what’s possible.”
