VisionWalk is the national signature fundraising event for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Since its inception in the spring of 2006, the program raised over $30 million to fund sight-saving research.  As promising treatments move into critical human studies, the need for research funding is greater than ever before.  Join the tens of thousands of people who have taken important steps toward a cure by participating in a 5K VisionWalk.  
 
Register your spouse; significant other; kids --- make it a family affair.  There will be Chinese auctions, music, and other surprises as well.   All those registered to  walk will receive a free raffle ticket for the Chinese auction.
