Our annual Hope for Vision Walk brings together supporters, families, and advocates to raise funds and awareness for pediatric retinal disease research and community programs. Participants can join with us virtually in their own communities or in-person at Oakland University in Rochester, MI. Given how unpredictable April weather can be, our in-person event will take place on an indoor track, still with lots of games, refreshments, and family-friendly activities.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
