Jacksonville, FL - Jacksonville VisionWalk 2010

Chaired by Lisa Benz & Megan Mauney

Saturday, April 24, 2010 was a beautiful day for the 2nd Annual Jacksonville VisionWalk!  Over 400 participants came out to show their support at Freedom Commerce Centre and enjoy snow cones, cotton candy, bounce houses, clown and face painter and refreshments. It was amazing to see the dedication and support for the VisionWalk.  Over $58,000 has been raised so far in Jacksonville to help the Foundation Fighting Blindness fund research for retinal degenerative diseases.
