Great Job Eastern Michigan! We could not have asked for better weather for our 3rd annual Eastern Michigan VisionWalk on Saturday, May 15. We are still collecting donations and we have until June 30 as we are so close to our goal of $70,000! We are $5,000 away from our Walk goal. There were more than 300 participants who enjoyed a beautiful day at Hines Park to celebrate our fundraising efforts in support of the Foundation and the critical research it funds. It's never too late to donate to the Walk. Let's keep the thermometer rising! Please send any checks to: Foundation Fighting Blindness 1580 S.
