When my daughter was diagnosed with RP, I was lost and not sure what to do for support. I found in the Baltimore chapter a loving and supportive community. Through the years, I became more involved in helping to spread the word of the good work that the Foundation does and the power that comes when people work together for a common cause. The inspiration that comes from our collective passion keeps all of us moving forward toward finding the cures we are all seeking for blinding diseases.

Robin Silver, Chapter President

The Chapter Network has Three Areas of Focus

  • EDUCATION. Learn the latest in blinding retinal disease research.

  • RESOURCES. Get connected to local community resources and specialists.

  • REVENUE. Raise funds through VisionWalks, dinners, DIY fundraisers, and more.
