Message from the President:
 Welcome, and thank you for your interest in our chapter. In an effort to build on the great successes of the VisionWalk fundraiser over the past three years, we have formed this chapter in support of the Foundation’s initiatives to increase public awareness in our communities, lead fundraising efforts to help fund research, and to provide information to those affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP), macular degeneration, Usher syndrome, Stargardt disease and all other retinal degenerative diseases.

VisionWalk Update
Other than a little fall chill, we enjoyed an absolutely perfect day on Saturday, October 6, 2012, welcoming 515 walkers to beautiful Theodore Berry Friendship Park for our 7th Annual VisionWalk. For the third year in a row, our Walk has surpassed its goal, and we are adding on toward the $75,000 milestone. That is an AMAZING achievement for Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky! Thank you to the entire community for making this such a great success.
