If you’re looking for a fun and simple way to support Prevent Blindess Iowa, look no further. On June 17th, we will be hosting the Light the Night for Sight Walk. The walk is in coordination with Johnston Green Days, and is on the first night of their four day long free festival.

There is no cost to participate; however, we strongly encourage walkers to raise donations. If you raise at least $100, you will receive a glow-in-the-dark t-shirt! The walk is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of consumer fireworks, educate the public on the importance of sports eye safety and UV protection and provide information on how to preserve sight.

Registration for the event begins at 6:15pm, and the walk will start at 7:30pm. If you are interested in participating, please contact Amy O’Brien at (515)244-4341 or e-mail her at aobrien@preventblindness.org. We look forward to seeing you on the 17th!
