HFV announces iWalk and Run for Vision Project

Hope for Vision will be launching a series of walk-a-thons at Universities nationwide to raise much needed funds and awareness for vision research.   

These walks and runs –where participants gather support through pledges and sponsorships - are a wonderful opportunity for students to work together for a common goal, help spread the word about Hope for Vision and support an urgent and important cause.  It will also be a way for students to give back to their community with a portion of the funds they raise directly supporting innovative research in their area.  

The first walk took place on April 25, 2009 at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.  In addition to raising over $23,000 for vision research, over 100 students worked together to spread the word about HFV and the devastating diseases robbing millions of precious sight.
