2011 Oregon VisionWalk

CONGRATULATIONS OREGON!

Oregon VisionWalkThank you Oregon Walkers! The rain held off to create a fabulous day Saturday. Over 150 walkers came out and supported the 5th Annual Oregon VisionWalk!

We had 20 fantastic teams participate in this year's VisionWalk to help the Foundation Fighting Blindness raise over $19,000 (and counting) for critical retinal degenerative disease research. Please continue to reach out to family and friends and watch our thermometer rise as we continue to work on reaching our goal and though the walk is over, the fundraising continues! If you have any check that you forgot to bring to the walk or that you have received since Saturday, Please send them to:
