South Florida Police Benevolent Association contributes to Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired eventMiami Lighthouse Academy holds beeping Easter egg hunt <\/p>\n

The main instruction for a group of children during a special egg hunt on Thursday in the West Brickell neighborhood was to follow the sounds. <\/p>\n

Easter\u2019s vibrant colors couldn\u2019t offer clues to the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>\u2018s academy<\/a>\u2018s students, aged one through 4.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies with the bomb squad installed beeping devices in as many colorful Easter eggs as they could. <\/p>\n

\"\"Easter event <\/p>\n

Virginia Jacko<\/a>, who has served as the president and chief executive officer of the nonprofit for decades, said the children were \u201ctickled.\u201d <\/p>\n

David Greenwell<\/a>, the executive vice president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, said it\u2019s one of his biggest highlights of the year. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just wish people would close their eyes for maybe 30 minutes today and see what their life is like every day,\u201d Greenwell said. \u201cSo when they find the eggs, out of listening and finding, they are so happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
