We are so grateful to have leaders and staff who understand the importance of #eyehealth! We hope you will consider donating to PBGA this #GivingTuesday and help us spread the word about our critical sight-saving mission!
I was in the 4th grade when I realized I needed glasses. The first time I put my own pair of glasses on, the world became clearer. My ability to interact with the world around me and my schooling became so much easier. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them, which is why I know how important it is to be able to see properly. This is why I am supporting #PreventBlindnessGeorgia this #GivingTuesday as they provide certified vision screening, eye exams, and prescription eyeglasses to preschoolers and school-aged children across Georgia. I hope you will join me in supporting PBGA this year!
