Your registration supports people with failing vision
Losing your sight can be a frightening experience. But the Lions have resources to help.
100% of the proceeds from this event - EVERY PENNY - goes to support the Lions Low Vision Resource Center (LVRC) in Olympia. The only Center of its kind in western Washington, the LVRC loans equipment and provides training on devices that can help people with failing vision remain independent and engaged.
