Orange County VisionWalk

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 6th Annual Orange County VisionWalk at California State University - Fullerton! We had over 450 walkers and 36 fantastic teams participate in this year’s VisionWalk to help Foundation Fighting Blindness raise over $72,000 for critical retinal degenerative disease research!
