We enjoyed an absolutely perfect day on Sunday, October 23rd, welcoming over 350 walkers to the beautiful UCLA campus- Dickson Court South to celebrate our 5th Annual VisionWalk. The Walk surpassed its $100,000 goal, raising over $106,000…a HUGE number for Los Angeles! Thank you to the entire community for making this such a great success.

and I will share with everyone.
Special thanks to our Walk Co- Chairs, Adam and Sheri Lawrence and Fred and Marsha Wolinsky. Your leadership and dedication to the VisionWalk was the driving force behind our success.
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
Tylie Jones & Associates, Subaru of America, Jules Stein Eye Institute and Retina Vitreous Associates Medical Group. Also, a special thank you to the many community sponsors and in-kind donors who made the walk a great day for so many.
Walkers were treated to a live concert hosted by the original members and song writers of the band War. The crowd danced and sang to classic hits “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”, “Low Rider” and more. We would like to thank all of the members for coming out and donating their time to give us such great entertainment.
And finally, a HUGE thank you to all the Team Captains, walkers, and volunteers (especially the UCLA Delta Gammas)! Your support, dedication, and energy made the day a true success.
