Founded in 1958, Prevent Blindness Massachusetts fights sight loss through patient, public, and professional education, community programs and research. We are working to eliminate preventable blindness in the Commonwealth. Yet, one person goes blind every 11 minutes.
Vision loss robs people of their independence, mobility and quality of life.
We are in need of volunteers in a variety of areas from children's vision screenings to special events. Your car will be driven or towed away from your property free of charge. In return you will receive not only the feeling that you have helped save the sight of members of your community but also a tax deduction for your charitable contribution. All proceeds from this program go directly to Prevent Blindness Massachusetts. According to Prevent Blindness America, vision problems affect one in 20 preschoolers and one in four school aged children.
