AREUFIT Staff Participates in Eagles Youth Partnership’s 2nd Annual “Give Kids Sight Day

On Saturday, October 30, 2010, Eagles Youth Partnership’s Eagles Eye Mobile program, which includes AREUFIT staff, teamed up with Wills Eye Institute and Public Citizens for Children and Youth (PCCY) to provide free eye checks for children ages 18 and under who are uninsured and underinsured and do not have proper access to vision care.  At each location, nearly 40 percent of all children screened did need and received glasses. The Eagles Eye Mobile also provided two free pairs of glasses for children who were found to need them.  More than 1,100 kids received a free screening, exam, and/or glasses at either Wills Eye Hospital or The Eye Institute.  AREUFIT is proud to be part of such a special organization!  For more information, see Eagles Youth Partnership website or the Eagles Eye Mobile Program website.
