We aren't just here to provide glasses but to inspire the communities we visit and encourage the kids we meet and each other. We have met kids who are saving for their first car, looking into being a ________. Sometimes just carrying on a conversation can mean the world.
Today Carson showed this young lady her eye and even let her help him out with te next few kids in line.
Along with meeting some really great kids we have had the opportunity to work with amazing volunteers. Pictured here is Art, he has worked with us for several days and has been a huge help in the lab. The local Best Buys have provided several volunteers to help as well as local optometry students.
On every clinic the team hosts a silent auction to raise money for the foundation. Tonight we did just that. The team donated items for the silent and live auctions. Chris Warnek from the Dallas Lab has served as our Fundraiser Captain and hosted a great time. This team t-shirt was signed by many of the children we have seen in the clinic and went for $100 in live auction.
Here is Anamaria Blejan from Wisconsin Dells Sunglass Hut posing with her new purchase, Oakley Jupiters from our silent auction. Proudly between our fundraising page and the auction we have raised $. If you would like to help please visit our page to donate http://onesight.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&eventID=502&teamID=5009 and help us reach our $10,000 goal.
This clinic is doing great work. I'm sorry to hear that as I write this you guys may no longer exist. I'm sure so many people are thankful for the services you have provided.
