Thank you to our amazing Sponsors who help drive the research through their financial contributions: Walmart, Regeneron, Genentech, The Chatlos Foundation, Sun Ray Homes, Jim and Ginny Schott, Maryann and George Freidrich, The Schleich Family Foundation, Florida Retina Institute, Ramirez & Poulos, MD, PA and Charles Schwab & Company.

Thank you to our in-kind donors, who through their generous donation of food, time and walk goodies ensure that even more money goes directly to research - Krispy Kreme Donuts, Costco, and Jack and Sally Law and Embroidery Works Plus!
