HAUPPAUGE,
NY — Give
the Gift of Sight honored Santinelli International as a 20/20
Visionary and as a Decade
Donor.
Each
year, Give the Gift of Sight volunteers and optometrists, in partnership
with Lions Clubs International members, hand-deliver eye exams and
recycled eyewear to underprivileged individuals in developing
countries around the world. Each two-week mission is designed
to help nearly 30,000 people. Since 1991, Give
the Gift of Sight has sponsored more than 100 optical missions
to 27 developing countries providing the gift of sight to more than
two million recipients.
According
to Susan Knobler, the foundation’s Director of Gift
of Sight, “Give the Gift
of Sight improves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people
each year. The impact we make is a direct reflection of the generous
contributions we have received from companies like Santinelli
International”.
