Celebrating and Honoring the Gift of Sight

In November, Saving Sight joined the Eye Bank Association of America with the eye banking community to celebrate Eye Donation Month. During this month we acknowledged and commemorated the lives of those who have given the gift of sight through donation. This year, we celebrated with the continuation of the 2020 theme “A Community of Compassion” putting a focus on the passion element of “Compassion”

During the month of November our Hospital Development team made in-person visits to many of our hospitals, dropping off a box of goodies while personally thanking the staff. The goodie box was filled with snacks and spa goods focused on relaxation. This was our way of providing a break for health care workers who are tirelessly caring for patients.

In addition to celebrating Eye Donation Month in November, Saving Sight also takes part in National Donate Life Month in April. This year, our team found some creative ways to participate in Donate Life Spirit Week. Some activities included painting rocks, participating in Donate Life flag raising ceremonies, and decorating for National Blue and Green Day.
