Who Is a Vision Warrior?
A Vision Warrior is someone who doesn’t wait for change—they create it.
You don’t need fundraising experience. You don’t need a huge following. What you need is heart, drive, and a belief that your efforts matter—because they do.
Vision Warriors are students, runners, artists, CEOs, families, and first-time fundraisers. They’re people who are determined to see a future where blindness is no longer a life sentence. They show up. They speak out. They raise their hands—and raise dollars.
If you're ready to fight for cures and rally others to do the same, you're already a Vision Warrior.
A Movement with Proven Momentum
This isn’t theory. It’s real. It’s working.
Vision Warriors across the country have turned barbecues, birthday parties, book clubs, and benefit concerts into powerful fundraising forces. Together, they’ve raised millions for groundbreaking research.
Because of their efforts, we’re funding:
-
The identification of more genes linked to blinding diseases (already over 280 discovered!)
-
No-cost genetic testing for patients through the My Retina Tracker® Genetic Testing Program
-
104 active grants supporting 133 investigators at 92 institutions worldwide
-
The advancement of over 45 clinical trials toward potential treatments
Join us. Push progress forward.
