Bright for Sight 2021
Campaign by Sightsavers Ireland (RCN 20053246)
Bright for Sight is Sightsavers' annual fundraising campaign based on a very simple idea. Wear something yellow on June 24th, make a small donation, and help restore the sight of children and people who are needlessly blind from preventable causes.

Story

Imagine losing your sight, bit by bit, and with it your ability to go to school, to learn, to do the things you enjoy, or to look after yourself and your family. Sightsavers vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes and where people with disabilities participate equally in society At least 2.2 billion people (over a quarter of the worlds population) have a vision impairment, of whom at least 1 billion could have been prevented or treated. 

Shocked at how unfair this is? So are we. This summer, together we can fight against avoidable blindness and restore the sight of those who are needlessly blind in developing countries by supporting Bright for Sight. Just €2 can provide an eye screening for two children and €104 can fund a sight-saving cataract operation for a child. Giving them a chance at a better and brighter future. 

The support that has been shown from this donation page has been amazing thus far and any further donations are greatly appreciated for this worthy cause. There will be a bake sale held on Thursday the 24th of June outside the canteen in Moorepark for any staff on site to help reach our target of €500. Come to show your support and enjoy the goodies!! 

Thanks to all for your generosity,

Caoimhe.
