The mission is to eliminate preventable blindness from childhood by helping families connect with programs and services so that all children get the best vision care possible. The goals of this fund are to: provide free or reduced cost glasses to children who need them; support and fund earlier and more robust vision screening programs, and raise awareness of preventable pediatric vision conditions so that many more kids just like Violet have healthy vision for a lifetime. This fund was discontinued at the end of the year and the funds disbursed to a nonprofit in the name of Violet Sees that was set up in 2016.”
