This year, Spectrios Institute celebrates 40 years of service to the Low Vision Community with our Vital Vision Campaign. The Vital Vision Campaign is a commitment to future generations of individuals with vision loss and ensuring the accessibility of services.
During this campaign, we will raise $2 million dollars to give Spectrios Institute a solid foundation for a sustainable future. Money raised during this campaign will support our Buckets of Hope.
Our Buckets of Hope are the essential building blocks that help promote and grow the Spectrios Mission. Over the next few weeks, and next year, we will be sharing detailed information about the importance of each Bucket of Hope.
Today, we focus on the Seeing Is Believing bucket. Seeing Is Believing is our in-school outreach program providing K–12 students with low vision across Illinois with free diagnostic services and prescriptive devices. By bringing care into the classroom, students become more competitive academically, can better envision their future careers, and experience a lift in their human spirit.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Seeing Is Believing program. During this time, we have helped nearly 11,000 Illinois school children with low vision.
Keep this Vital Program available for future Illinois public school children.
Donate to the Vital Vision Campaign, today.
