Being involved with the Foundation Fighting Blindness and surrounded by professionals, knowing that we are all working towards a day when blindness will be cured has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We will end blindness one day.
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.
