Resolve to Preserve and Restore Sight in 2013

You can make a meaningful New Year’s resolution by establishing a recurring monthly donation to the Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation and its six sight-saving programs. Your recurring $25 gift can help the Foundation screen 5 kids each month for blindness-causing diseases such as amblyopia. That means in 2013 you’ll have drastically improved the lives of 6 children by enabling us to detect their vision problems before it’s too late.

Setting up your recurring donation is easy. Visit http://www.mlerf.org/give or call us at 800-753-2265 to schedule your contribution, and it will be automatically drawn each month to support our mission to preserve and restore sight in 2013.

Two Partners of Heartland Lions Eye Banks Featured in 2013 Rose Parade

We celebrated New Year’s Day by watching the Rose Parade to support two of our hospital partners – Freeman Health System in Joplin, Mo. and University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Mo. – that were major contributing sponsors to the Donate Life float. In total, these two hospital systems made 150 dedications to honor organ, eye and tissue donors and people touched by donation at their hospitals in 2012.
