Today is the World Sight Day Challenge

Today, Thursday, October 9, the industry is invited to support Optometry Giving Sight and its annual fundraising campaign known as the World Sight Day Challenge (WSD). Now in its 7th year, the World Sight Day Challenge is the largest annual global fundraising campaign to address avoidable blindness caused by uncorrected refractive error – the need for an eye exam and glasses. The campaign has set a fundraising target of $1 million in 2014.

 

Participation can be a fundraising pledge, or a monthly or annual donation, before the end of World Sight Day, today, October 9.

 

Share your activities via social media and the #givingsight hashtag.
