What Color is Your Sky?

There are more than 50,000 shades of blue in the world, and the sky represents a vast and ever-changing palette of these shades. The blue of the sky is what those suffering with vision loss miss the most.

The reality of this finding strengthened our resolve and inspired our logo - capturing both the significance of blue, and the heart of our givers, while honoring the gift of sight so many have lost or are in danger of losing.

We Won’t Rest Until Everyone Sees The Blue In Their Sky

Please join us August 7, 2023 for the 11th Annual Sam's Scramble for Sight, an afternoon of golf with Brian and Colleen Walker and friends to celebrate the realistic hope in finding a cure for blindness.

Eleven years ago, our son, Sam, was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease. Thousands of people like Sam are suffering from inherited eye disease and live with the fear of one day walking up to a dark world. We are honored and humbled by the generosity and compassion of donors like you, who continue to join us in the fight for a cure to eradicated blindness. There is realistic hope!
