This year's walks take place in the weeks leading up to the fourth of July. During that time frame, in almost 50 locations across the United States Prevent Blindness and its supporters will be walking to Light the Night for Sight. Join Prevent Blindness to Light the Night for Sight. We will share safety information, model safe celebrations and walk to support the Prevent Blindness' sight-saving programs. If you can't make it to a walk, contact Prevent Blindness America.
