Congratulations Jacksonville on the success of the 2nd Annual Jacksonville VisionWalk!

Saturday, April 24, 2010 was a beautiful day!  Over 400 participants came out to show their support at Freedom Commerce Centre and enjoy snow cones, cotton candy, bounce houses, clown and face painter and refreshments. It was amazing to see the dedication and support for the VisionWalk. Over $58,500 has been raised so far in Jacksonville to help the Foundation Fighting Blindness fund research for retinal degenerative diseases.
