Each October we fundraise for a charity known as Optometry Giving Sight, an organization that provides vision care services including eyeglasses for the underserved around the world. The numbers are in and we are pleased to report that we have had the strongest fundraising effort to date, with a total of $7,798.00 raised !
Many thanks to our staff, who brought in baked goods for sale, our suppliers, including Nikon, Zeiss, Maui Jim, iFrame, Safilo, Ronor, Creating Balance and Oakley for providing eyeglasses, lenses and other merchandise for our silent auction, our doctors, who donated their professional fees on World Sight Day and of course our patients, who participated in various ways including contributing directly, to make this event a total success! And, of course to Amber Grove, whose tireless efforts to organize this made it all possible.
To put into perspective, this money will supply over 1500 people with the eye care they need, including glasses if needed, to attend school or work to support their families. Thank you to all who were involved.
