Message from the President:

Dear Friends of the FFB Denver Chapter:

My name is Carmen Swick and I am fortunate and excited to be your Chapter President. We have had an excellent past few years of growth in fundraising and awareness and it is my goal to ensure we continue this momentum. In the upcoming year one of my primary goals is to add help seed the energy of the Chapter by increasing involvement with our youth. As we all know it is our youth who hold the key to success in the future so it is crucial we involve and engage our youth in the accomplishments of the Denver Chapter.

Featured Volunteer:

Rhett and ChayeFoundation Fighting Blindness would like to acknowledge a young man who is overcoming his vision challenges and exemplifying leadership for many others to follow.

Following his diagnosis of Stargardt’s Disease in 2006, Rhett was determined to continue his personal motto of having no excuses in life when striving to achieve his goals.  Those who’ve followed Rhett’s story know he hasn’t let his legal blindness slow him down one bit.  He continued to lead his peers on the field and in the classroom and has amazed onlookers with his determination and ability to succeed at each new opportunity.
