Trustees since the spring of 2011, Donna and Jody have worked hand in hand to generate nearly $1 million for sight-saving research. They’ve chaired several successful fundraising events, including the Northern Virginia Dining in the Dark twice and VisionWalks in both Northern Virginia/DC and Montgomery County. They also travel to Dining in the Dark events around the country to support the Foundation’s mission.
