#20/20For2020 Campaign: Clear Vision For All
We are heading towards the home stretch of our 20/20 for 2020 campaign!
In 2016, New Eyes launched 20/20 for 2020, aiming to raise $1,000,000 to purchase eyeglasses for people in the U.S. and collect 1,000,000 pairs of gently used glasses for overseas recipients, by the year 2020.
$790,000 has been raised for new eyeglasses and 800,000 used glasses have been donated as of last month, but there’s still more work to be done.
Help New Eyes meet 20/20 for 2020, by making an online donation here, or donating your gently used eyeglasses.
Lack of affordable eyeglasses is a global epidemic that is hidden, yet a reality for millions across the globe, and right here in the United States.
According to the World Health Organization,285 million people are visually impaired worldwide, yet 43 percent of those whose vision could be corrected by a pair of eyeglasses, don’t have the resources to purchase them.
