WE DID THIS TOGETHER. THANK YOU.
The Holiday Impact Prize campaign, presented and awarded by Nicholas Kristof, wasn’t just about dollars raised; it was about showing up for kids who need vision care and reminding them that people they may never meet care deeply about their future. And you showed up in a big way. Because of you, more children will walk into their classrooms able to see the board clearly, read with confidence, and fully engage in their learning.
From all of us at Vision To Learn, thank you.
“I’ve long believed that while none of us can fix everything, each of us can do something. You’ve shown that, together, we can do something extraordinary.”
—Nicholas Kristof,
Two-time Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist

Looking Forward
The campaign may be complete, but the impact is just the beginning.
Your support helps Vision To Learn expand to new schools, new states, and new students who are ready to learn but just need a pair of glasses to see clearly.
Right now, funds raised are being put to work delivering care in low-income schools and communities where access to vision services is limited.
