Roborock donates $50,000 to support Miami Lighthouse’s blind soccer program and unveils new “ClearPath” Academy classroom to advance accessibility and independence through technology

MIAMI, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock, the global leader in smart home cleaning technology, today announced a new partnership with Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the nation’s leading organization serving blind and visually impaired individuals. As part of the partnership, Roborock will donate $50,000 to support Miami Lighthouse’s blind soccer program and unveil the new Roborock ClearPath Classroom during a special ribbon-cutting event at Miami Lighthouse on June 17.

Timed to coincide with the start of global football celebrations in Miami and Roborock’s broader community activation at Aventura Mall starting on June 20, the partnership highlights how technology, accessibility, and community engagement can come together to create meaningful local impact.

Roborock and Miami Lighthouse Unite Around Accessibility, Blind Soccer, and Community Impact

The ceremony will include remarks from Virginia Jacko, President and CEO at Miami Lighthouse; Oseas De Leon, Senior Technology Specialist at Miami Lighthouse and USA Blind Soccer Men’s National Team player; Roborock leadership; and Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones. Following the ribbon cutting and classroom unveiling, guests will experience a blind soccer demonstration led by Miami Lighthouse students, coaches, and De Leon to highlight how blind and visually impaired athletes use sound and echolocation to navigate the game.

The partnership is rooted in the shared idea of “Navigation Beyond Vision,” a concept centered on how technology helps people better interact with the world. By connecting Miami Lighthouse’s blind soccer program with Roborock’s own innovations in intelligent navigation, spatial awareness, and AI-powered sensing technology, the collaboration demonstrates how technology can enhance independence and improve how people experience the world around them.

Miami Lighthouse serves nearly 30,000 program participants annually through programs supporting blind and visually impaired children, adults, and seniors. Roborock’s donation will help fund USABA-credentialed blind soccer coaches, orientation and mobility training, physical therapies, and specialized assessments for participants in the organization’s blind soccer program, providing critical support as the program expands access to training and development opportunities for visually impaired youth.

“Blind soccer is more than a sport. It’s a powerful demonstration of confidence, independence, teamwork, and resilience,” said Jacko. “We are incredibly grateful to Roborock for investing in our students and athletes through this partnership. Their support will help us expand opportunities for visually impaired youth while also bringing greater visibility to accessibility and inclusion through the universal language of soccer.”

The partnership will also support the Miami Lighthouse Academy through the new Roborock ClearPath Classroom, which serves students from early learning through elementary education and reflects the Academy’s inclusive educational model designed to support students, teachers, and families alike. The classroom symbolizes Roborock’s commitment to creating technology that helps remove barriers and support everyday independence while establishing a foundation for continued collaboration around human-centered technology experiences and community impact initiatives.

“At Roborock, we believe technology should help people interact with the world more confidently and independently,” said Ricky Ma, General Manager, Europe & Americas at Roborock. “This partnership with Miami Lighthouse reflects values that are deeply important to us: accessibility, inclusion, and improving real-life experiences through thoughtful innovation. We’re honored to support the incredible students, athletes, and families at Miami Lighthouse and to help create opportunities that empower the community for years to come.”
