Nashville, you did a great job!
What an incredibly beautiful day for a walk. Thanks to over 325 of you, the energy was high and the 7th Annual Nashville VisionWalk was an amazing event!
We had 28 fantastic teams participate in the VisionWalk this year and to date they have raised over $52,000 for critical retinal degenerative disease research. That thermometer is still moving every day, so keep an eye on it. If you're still holding on to checks, collecting checks, or thinking about doing more fundraising - it's not too late! To donate, please visit the Nashville VisionWalk website. Thank you for your support!
