Combat Blindness is a wonderful foundation. Since learning more about this organization, I have been impressed with how much can be done for so little. Just $25 can save someone's eyesight! This means that a child can have a productive future, a person improve their quality of life, and a grandparent can see their grandchild.
I am involved in a number of charitable organization and agreed to work with Combat Blindess since the cause is so great. Combat Blindess is devoted to a need which effects a human being the most i.e. the ability to see. The majority of the work is done by volunteers thereby ensuring nearly 100% of the funds go to charity. The organization has been around for many years and we are spreading the word in Southern California.
