💙🧡 ONE MONTH IN, AND LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED! 👓
It's been just over a month since we kicked off our Back-to-School Vision Screening Campaign, and our team has been hard at work helping students across Oregon see clearly and succeed in the classroom!
Our incredible team of 15 School Vision Screening Event Managers has been traveling across the state, reaching students in both rural and urban communities. And the results are AMAZING! 👀
📚 180+ screening events coordinated statewide
👓 32,000 students received vision screenings
🧡 6,100+ students referred for comprehensive eye exams
💙 $19,000 RAISED through our Back-to-School Campaign so far!
But beyond the numbers, it's the impact on students, families, and school communities that makes this work so meaningful.
We recently received a heartfelt letter from Jeremy Hurl, Principal at Willamina High School, sharing his appreciation for our team: "Ensuring that students can see clearly and have access to the resources they need is an important part of helping them succeed in the classroom and beyond."
It's messages like these that remind us why we do what we do! 💙
And we're not stopping here!
Thanks to our generous sponsors, Lions Clubs, community partners, and individual donors, we've already raised $19,000 toward expanding our reach. But our ultimate goal remains the same: to screen EVERY student in Oregon!
We'll be continuing our Back-to-School fundraising campaign through Thanksgiving, and there's still time to make a difference!
🦁 Sponsor a Day of Screenings: $500
🦁 Sponsor a Week of Screenings: $2,500
Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us reach more students and identify vision concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Join us in helping Oregon students see a brighter future! 👓
