Eye Stroll for Vision Registration is NOW OPEN!!!
We are so excited to share this year’s 2024 Eye Stroll for Vision is going to be even bigger and better, as we have added a couple new things this year!
First, you don’t have to be in Houston to participate. That’s right you can stroll with us from anywhere and support us in our mission to prevent blindness and preserve sight.
Second, we have added some fabulous incentives for fundraisers to earn along the way… stay tuned you are going to want to earn these! When you choose to become a fundraiser, you are reaching out to your network (family, friends, co-workers, etc.) to raise funds to support Prevent Blindness Texas’ mission.
Join us at an upcoming event!
