The Strength of the Foundation is Through Our Communities
The Foundation Fighting Blindness Chapter network unites the blind and low vision community across the country. Our family of volunteers and leaders stands up for those impacted by blinding diseases. From day one, they share the latest research and advancements and provide access to local resources to guide individuals through their personal journey. And together, they celebrate the Foundation’s mission.
We are winning thanks to the dedication of our Chapters, who focus on three key areas: education, resources, and revenue. Through informative sessions, Foundation staff, community, and national experts provide research information, low vision resources, and outreach to our local retinal specialists and eye care professionals. To continue accelerating our mission, each community is invited to be a stakeholder by participating in our fundraising events.
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.
