2011 Memphis VisionWalk

On a beautiful Saturday, October 22nd we celebrated the 4th Annual Memphis VisionWalk at Overton Park.   There were 275 people in attendance and we are closing in on our $50,000 goal!

Many thanks to our Walk Chair, Tim Smeltser and Honorary Chair, Congressman Steve Cohen. Thanks also to our Chapter Co-Presidents, Dr. Alex Iannaccone and Dr. Jen Bulmann, our VisionWalk Fundraising Committee, and all of our Team Captains, Walkers, and Volunteers. We couldn't have done this without all of you!

Our
Team Spirit winner on Saturday was KAT Eyes. Congratulations to Team Captain Cami Elliott. Congratulations also to our Best Team T-Shirt winner - Reece's Pieces! These contests were so hard to judge - there was such energy and creativity evident at the Walk. Thank you all for getting into the VisionWalk spirit!

While we've already had the VisionWalk celebration, the VisionWalk bank is not closed! Please continue your outreach and help us get all the way to our $50,000 goal! Our website will remain open for online donations and other gifts can be sent to:

Foundation Fighting Blindness
4600 Marriott Drive, Suite 340
Raleigh, NC  27612
