The Legacy Society

The Legacy Society is a unique group of Foundation Fighting Blindness members who have made a lasting commitment to finding treatments and cures for blinding retinal diseases by making a gift to the Foundation through a will, trust or by beneficiary designation.

The Legacy Society is a way for the Foundation to recognize this profound contribution to retinal research. A gift of any kind to the Foundation is a wonderful act of compassion and generosity.

We Are Here to Help
